- some comments to IRC...
-
- IRC=Internet Relay Network
- You can talk there with people all over the world.
- The known amiga channels are #amiga,#amigadev,#amiga!
-
- You should ask your local network supervisor if IRC is
- possible or try simply to start your irc-client with
- the command *irc* in your shell.
