Well guess what? You can! The network is called IRC and it is +networked much over North America, Europe, and Asia, Oceania, and parts of +Africa. This program is a substitution for talk(1), ytalk(1) and many +other multiple talk programs you might have read about. When you are +talking in IRC, everything you type will instantly be transmitted around +the world to other users that might be watching their terminals at the +time - they can then type something and RESPOND to your messages - and +vise versa. I should warn you that the program can be very addictive once +you begin to make friends and contacts on IRC ;-) especially when you +learn how to cuss in 14 languages. + +Topics of discussion on IRC are varied, just like the topics of Usenet +newsgroups are varied. Technical and political discussions are popular, +especially when world events are in progress. IRC is also a way to expand +your horizons, as people from many countries and cultures are on, 24 hours +a day. Most conversations are in English, but there are always places to +chat in German, Japanese, and Finnish, and occasionally other languages. + + How To Get IRC (technical) + +IRC is a fully-distributed client-server system, much like +NNTP-Usenet, with several clients availble in C and elisp. You may ftp +documentation and clients from any of the following sites: + +many kinds of clients (C, elisp, X11, VMS, REXX for VM, MSDOS, Macintosh): +cs.bu.edu:/irc/clients +ftp.acsu.buffalo.edu:/pub/irc +ftp.funet.fi:/pub/unix/irc +coombs.anu.edu.au:/pub/irc + +If you have any questions about IRC installation, write to hrose@kei.com. + -- cgit v1.2.3
