Personal Pages:

See http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Vegetarian/People/ for a list of personal
web pages.



If you do not have access to www (typical www browsers are netscape,
mosaic, lynx, and www) but if you have access to telnet, then you can
use www by telneting to a public www client, some of which are
gopher.msu.edu, info.cern.ch, and telnet.w3.org (128.141.201.214).
You can also telnet to www.njit.edu and log in as 'www'. You can also
access WWW pages via e-mail. For instructions, send an e-mail to
[e-mail] with 'www' in the message body.



______________________________________________________________________
Internet Relay Chat  (IRC)


IRC is a mechanism that allows people to have real-time text-based
group discussions over the Internet. This can be used as a cheap (free
for some) substitute for long distance phone calls.

The following is an explanation of how to access IRC via the UNIX
'irc' client software. Accessing IRC from other software or from other
types of systems should be similar, although the commands may be
replaced with menus.

The IRC is composed of several networks. The big one is called EFnet.
On EFnet, there are 2 vegetarian discussion channels: #veggies
and #vegan. There is a server/robot on #veggies called VeganSrv which
is always available so that interested folks can get information on
vegetarianism. If it's not there, then you are likely on another IRC
network, try switching to an IRC server on the EFnet network (for
example irc.texas.net or sifon.cc.mcgill.ca) using the /server command
(eg: '/server irc.texas.net').

Channels are created when people join them, so if you join '#veggie',
and not '#veggies', you are not likely to see anyone else. #veggies
has about 3 or 4 people chatting at times, but can also often be
empty. Try accessing it at different times of the day.

On IRC, people are known by their nicknames, so you must choose one
with the 'nick' command.

A typical session may include the following example commands:
    /nick MyNickname
    /join #veggies
    /who #veggies     (to see who is on #veggies)
    /whois gedge      (to see info about Gedge, if he's currently on)
    /msg gedge argh!  (to privately ask Gedge for help)
    /quit

All command lines must be prefixed with a '/'. Anything not prefixed
by a '/' will be sent to your current channel for all participants to
see!

If you don't have an IRC client installed on your system then you can
FTP one from ftp.undernet.org in the irc/clients directory. There are
clients here for Mac, PC, UNIX (precompiled or source), and other
systems. For UNIX, you can also automagically install it with
'telnet sci.dixie.edu 1 | sh'.
