There are several chat servers where Lycra lovers across the 'net can congregate and talk in real-time to each other. Here is a listing of them, and how to use them.
Chatting using IRC:
On DALnet (a network of IRC servers), there is an IRC channel for lycra enthusiasts. The channel name is #Alt.Lycra.
Below is a listing of the DALnet servers. You must use one of these servers to connect to the alt.lycra channel. All servers use port 7000 unless otherwise specified.

Looking for a good IRC client? On PCs, check out mIRC. If you're on a Mac, I have no idea what you should choose; try searching one of the software archives like sumex-aim.stanford.edu and www.shareware.com and search for "IRC". If you use a Mac, and know a good IRC client I can refer people to, please e-mail me!

I might be setting up my own chat server for lycra stuff. Please check back here for more info.
