PINO 3-Server is the server part of the third generation of PINO.

PINO is a full featured Client/Server Chatsystem and consists of PINO 3 and PINO 3-Server. It supports unregistered logins as well as registered ones (where the nickname is protected by a password). Registered users can add several additional informations (such as an E-Mail-Adresse address, a Homepage URL, a description about themself) to their profiles. A user can join multiple rooms at the same time and participate in the conversations there. The Administrator can define static system rooms, which are always opened. Four levels of user rights are available. ChatOPs (the most powerful userright level) can kick users out of the chat and temporarily ban them. For further Sicherheit purposes, the Administrator can define a list of allowed/forbidden IP addresses. For Allgemeine informations or advertisment campaigns, the Administrator can display his own clickable banners in PINO 3. Users also have the ability to establish direct connections between each other, to talk privately or to transfer files.
