Hello, Reaper. Welcome aboard. I'll answer your question in exchange for some of your miniatures.
Seriously, check the Random Static forum. There is a thread there titled ISSUrsula. That will lead you to a site and a group of people who play Traveller in a chatroom format.

Hey Reaper,
I've tried the following online tabletop interfaces:
Openrpg
WebRPG
Klooge
ScreenMonkey
GRIP
They all have pros and cons, but GRIP is the best one I've used. It incorporates a "character sheet markup language" which can be used to automate most all game mechanics, and it requires no central server to play a game. The "CSML" alone puts it ahead of the rest, though it takes a little time to get used to it.
Luckily, there's a great user community on Yahoo where anyone can get the help they need to get their own game up and running:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/griplist/
Drop by this group if you're at all interested. GRIP is a Quicklink/RPGRealms product (yep, same as T20), and there's even a Traveller version of the software.
The software for players is free, and the GM software costs $35.00, but the vendor offers a 60-day free trial (fully functional) - plenty of time to figure out whether you like it.
Here's the site where you can download the GRIP trial version:
http://www.rpgrealms.com/GRIP/gripprod.html
If you'd like help getting a game going, testing the software, etc., I'm willing to lend assistance. Just email me.

Thx for the info, I will check it out. I had downloaded one of the char generators someone had posted. Sure is nice to be able to not take a hour to get a playable char. You know, the ones who survive training. 8)The name of the program is "mtcgexe" Thats a dos based program, only thing i didn't like about it was you cant save the char. Are there anyother char gen's out there that might be better?
