Undernet.org, unfortuantely, is a broken down network. 4) You don't deserve to be kicked off a channel without a real reason 5) Avoid assholes restricting your access and banning you because you're smarter than these violent dummies. I have talked with alot of these people, and they refuse to stop attacking people. So, forget these assholes, and come to AMIGA channels, to learn without being attacked. 6) The ONLY way to have complete control, while on the chatlines, is to FOUND your own channel...and BTW..never point your anger or insults at a channel FOUNDER..(you may NOT get back onto that channel again, if you do !) The FOUNDER alone, has the power to akick (permanently ban you) 7) An IRC channel is really a "communication station". Once connected, there are many forms of communication possible; from typing text into the main window, /msg people, send chanserv memos, sending/receiving files, or holding computer training classes. 8) Once you connect to a channel, you can type /links to get a list of ALL the servers connected to the Network you are on. Enter the name of 1 or 2, closest to you geographically, in your channels-servers list. You can also type /list to get a complete list of Channels connected to that Network. @{a c dw} You can find a COMPLETE list of DALNET IRC commands at: http://www.inet-direct.com/cooksey/clchg.htm @endnode //--------------------------------------------------------------------- @node OTHERAMIGATHINGSOFINTEREST "OTHER AMIGA THINGS OF INTEREST" @{rr} @{"pics/tnatdlo.jpg" img}@{d}@{a r dw}@{"pics/tnatdlo.jpg" img} @{a c dw}@{FG text}@{b}@{u}@{sc #ffdd00}@{s}@{mark "OTHER AMIGA THINGS OF INTEREST: "}@{ub} @{a defa} 1) If you don't already know-- Aminet is NOT Public Domain !

This line is called chatlines. @{a defa} The world wide web has made it possible to access these lines of communications so we can reach one another across the world. So what are we doing with these lines of communications? How are we using these lines, and what can we do around the world on these lines of communication? @{urr} The chatlines are a good way to spread the support of the great Amiga, but somethings wrong. When we got on line back in August there were a total of 1-3 Amiga channels. We knew that wasn't right, so we created an Amigachannel then created another. We have about 10 Amiga channels now,compared to 3700 other channels supported by the PC world. Yes, 10 to 3700 is a large difference; so what are we amigans going to do about it ?@{n} Some of us are doing something aboutit! We're creating one Amiga channel after another, and spreading the great name of the greatest computer. Some are joining in and doing this same thing. We could use more Amiga owners out there to start their own channels and spread their ownknowledge of the Amiga.@{n} Let's get on these lines and shout that the Amiga still lives. The Amiga has far more ability than any PC or MAC and other computers , and we amigaowners know it. The best thing that we can do is get on line with these amigas and present our great work that we amigans do with our great computers. The power of the Amiga can speak for itself.@{n} The PC world has tried to destroy the Amiga; but,that great computer just stands through any destruction that comes against it. We need totake our amigas and go forward like we've never done before. The chatlines are a good way to go forward and support the amiga.@{n} The chatlines present many ways to communicate and share the works of the amiga. Taking the great work we do on our amigas and sharing with others and selling the great ability of the great computer is a great start for the Amiga. We need to strive to blast the name of the Amiga and give the best we have.@{n} If we want to keep the amiga around we are going to have to act now. The amiga needs that support, so lets give it. The chatlines are supposed to be a commun- ications device, so lets please use it that way. International communication has not been any easier.@{n} @{a c dw} ******************************************************** @endnode //-------------------------------------------------------------------------- @node CHATLINESAMIRC "Chatlines-AmIRC" @{rr}@{a c dw} @{u}@{sc #ffdd00}@{s}@{mark "Chatlines & AMIRC "}@{u} @{urr}@{a defa} AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat In a nutshell, IRC consists of a network of computers (servers) that are connected to each other via the internet or a LAN, and allow users with proper client software to connect and chat with each other. Within this network, virtual space is divided up into channels, usually with a topic of conversation, where users can talk in groups. If you don't have Amirc, you can go to http://www.vapor.com/amirc and download your IRC program and you can get to supporting your amiga on the chatlines. Now, here are a few things to get you on your way connected to a server and on a channel of your choice@{n} @{a c dw} .........@{n} What is needed to run AmIRC?@{n} ****************************@{p} @{a defa} Hardware ========@{n} AmIRC was written for the Amiga family of computers, and has been tested on 1200, 2000, 3000, & 4000 computers in various configurations. Software ========@{n} AmIRC requires About MUI v.3.1 or later in order to run. AmIRC requires KickStart & WorkBench 2.x or later, with setpatch 40.16 installed.@{p} AmIRC020 requires a 68020 or higher CPU, OS3.0 or newer, and MUI 3.1 or newer. If you do not have anyone of these, you must use the 68000 version of AmIRC. If you plan to run a TCP/IP stack and MUI and AmIRC, among other Internet applications, you should have at least 2 megabytes of RAM.@{p} Finally, You need to have a tcp/ip protocol stack running, such as AmiTCP/IP or Amiga technology's as225r2 tcp/ip protocol stack, With a slip, cslip, or ppp connection to the internet or an ethernet LAN.@{p} Alternatively, AmIRC will work with Multilink and a shell internet account. NOTE: As Mlink does not automatically set the HOSTNAME variable, this must be done when starting mlink. Env:hostname must contain the full domain name for your amiga, i/e 'calci.amiganet.pgh.net'. You must have OS 3.x in order to use sounds in AmIRC. AmIRC has its own installer script and requires that you have the Amiga installer utility (version 1.24 or later) located in your sys:c directory.@{p} @{a c dw} Getting AmIRC to run@{n} ********************@{p} @{a defa} Requirements ============@{n} To install, just click on the install icon, and answer the questions in the installer's requestors. If you cannot or prefer not to use the installer utility, a manual install is very simple, just move the contents of the archive to a directory of your choice and it's ready to use. If you have met the Requirements for the optimized version of AmIRC, delete the AmIRC file and rename "AmIRC020" as "AmIRC".@{p} @{a c dw} Connecting to a server@{n} **********************@{n} @{a c dw} Setup =====@{n} Once you have Installed AmIRC, run the AmIRC program from WB by clicking on its icon. After a few moments you will see the server connect requester appear. First type in a nickname in the first text gadget at the top of the requester. If you intend to use a nick that may be common, try typing in some variations in the next three boxes. This way, if your nick is in use by another person, the client will retry with the next nick. Next, enter your real name and your email address or www home page URL in the next text gadget. It is probably a good idea to be truthful here. :)@{n} Then, enter a username that will show as username @machine.network.org. username should be the same as the login ID for your service provider. Now you are ready to connect. Just click on a server from the supplied list or click new server entry and type the address and port number of your favorite server and then click connect. Optionally, you can choose one or a few channels to autojoin, just separate them with a comma. If you are already connected, and wish to connect to a second server, click connect thread to open a second instance of AmIRC. For instance, you're on dal.net and you can go to galaxy .net also and you can be on both servers at the same time.@{n} Now that you are on, and finding channels to go to, you can visit #Amiga3D ...it's on your list or you can type from the channel you are on ; /join #Amiga3D dragon.dal.net and you will be on one of our channels. If you need help, we will help. http://www.inet-direct.com/cooksey/ amiga3d htm/.
