    Fleet Admiral Michael Smith will hold monthly "Fireside IRC Chats" to be held during the week of each month. The next will be Thursday, 27 March starting at 9pm eastern time (6pm pacific time). For more information, please contact the Moderator, Allyson M.W. Dyar (NetServices@sfi.org)

    For a list of Frequently Used Nicknames (nicks), please consult STARFLEET Internet Nick List

    While STARFLEET can't officially endorse any specific IRC client, the majority of those who access IRC and have a PC use mIRC. The advantage of using mIRC is that if you run into problems, there is likely to be someone available on or off IRC who can help you set it up.

  • #starfleet-kansas_sector -- was established for the Kansas chapters to get together and exchange dates and activities, but anyone is welcome. For more information, contact Michael W. Malotte (nomadco@smartnet.net)
