How to download software for different platfoarms: I will assume you all have WWW browsers, if you don't please email me and i can email you the software. For Windows: There are two well known irc clients (irc client = irc software) 1.- mIRC: point your web browser to: http://www.mirc.co.uk and download mIRC 5.02 2.- PIRCH: point your web browser to: http://www.bcpl.lib.md.us/~frappa/pirch.html For Mac users (I've seen some mac fans in the list <g> ) 1.- IRCLE: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ircle/ For Unix: Im sure they can find an ircII ;) For OS/2 I Recommend Internet Adventurer, can't remember the URL but if there are any os2 user, I have the last version and can email it For VM/CMS mainframes Believe it or not, There are an IRC client for VM it's called RXIRC and i patched the version 2.1 to work with new servers like AnotherNet. So please email me if you are stuck in a VM Install your software acording to the instructions. Then choose a nick and connect to irc.another.net:6667 Once connected in anothernet type /JOIN #VANAGON Why Anothernet ? There are several irc networks, but in my opinion AnotherNet is the safest cleanest place with low lag and few jerks. The other reason is Anothernet has online services to register nicks etc.. I strongly recommend to read first: irc faq (you can find it in same site as mirc and anothernet services and policy in http://www.another.net Online Help: If you need help online in AnotherNet, type /join #Anothernet_Help and ask away your questions there, the operators there will answer your questions as sonn as they can. See you all there.. my nick there is Phobos.
