- o.k. where do we start?
-
- Many systems have IRC available just by typing "IRC" at the main system
- prompt. If this doesn't work on your system, you are going to have to find
- a way to use TELNET to get onto IRC. I haven't figured out how to TELNET a
- site to get IRC. If someone knows, please post a message about it.
-
- If you can get onto IRC, after the short opening screen, type "/JOIN
- #SATTV". You should be given a brief message that you have joined the
- #SATTV channel. If so, you are ready to enjoy the chat session.
-
- When you are done, just type "/QUIT" and you will get out of IRC.
-
- See you Sunday January 3, 1993 at 4 pm ET!
