What is IRC?
IRC is short for Internet Relay Chatting.
The IRC networks are connected through the internet and is made up of many chetrooms or channels.
In the channels/rooms many people can write texts that the other people can see and reply to.
The different channels/room useally have a topic, that tells about what is going on in the channel/room.
There are many country related channels/rooms like #canada, #france or #siam , but also special interest
rooms like #scubadiving, #amateurradio or #motorcycle . Some channels/rooms are age oriented like #teenchat,
#40-friends or #30+flirting but as people themselves can make new channels/rooms there are thousands of others.
What IRC Clints can you use?
The IRC client is the program you use to connect to the chat networks.
This depends on what computer you use and how you connect to the Internet.
On a PC one can use programs like mIRC or Pirch and others.
On a MAC there is IRCLE or Homer and others.
On a Unix based machine there is IRCII and others.
How to choose a nickname?
When you want to use IRC the client will need a nickname for you to show in the channels/rooms.
This is normally any name you chose to use. But it happen that somebody else is useing the same name.
Then you will just try useing another name or adding a number or special letters to your nickname.
In DALnet it is possible to register a nickname so one can use the same nick when one connects next time.
Some channels/rooms might dislike a name if they considered it rude and maybe even throw one out of a
channel/room because of this. So please think about this when you chose a nickname.
