- If you need a client that runs under VMS, check out the an. ftp site
- COOMBS.ANU.EDU.AU
-
- somewhere down the /pub/irc path there should be an IRC173.COM file
- in the VMS subdir, that will give you a reasonable client on VMS-sites.
- Mark, that is the VMS machine runs under Wollongong TCP/IP sftw., there
- will be certain problems. Mail me, if this is the case.
