-
- Problem #1: santafe is on a faster machine but is on a muuuuuuch slower
- link.
-
- Problem #2: Alot of people can compile their own clients and not need to
- use a telnet client at all. Clients are about 300k, and even less if
- stripped. Here's some information on how to ftp them:
-
- UNIX client-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients
- plod.cbme.unsw.edu.au
- nic.funet.fi pub/unix/irc
- ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de pub/net/irc
- slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com
- there is also a client avaliable with the server code.
- EMACS elisp-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/elisp
- nic.funet.fi
- ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
- slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com
- EMACS elisp "irchat"-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/elisp
- lehtori.cc.tut.fi:/pub/irchat
- nic.funet.fi:/pub/irchat
- VMS -> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/vms
- coombs.anu.edu.au
- REXX client for VM-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/rxirc
- ftp.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de pub/irc/rxirc
- MSDOS-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/msdos
- freebie.engin.umich.edu:/pub/irc/clients/MSDOS
-
- Macintosh-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/macintosh
- sumex-aim.stanford.edu /info-mac/comm
-
-
- It's usually best to try and connect to one geographically
- close, even though that may not be the best. You can always ask when you
- get on irc. Here's a list of servers avaliable for connection:
- csd.bu.edu
- ucsu.colorado.edu
- badger.ugcs.caltech.edu
- ug.cs.dal.ca
- nic.funet.fi
- vesuv.unisg.ch
- coombs.anu.edu.au
- sunsystem2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
-
- This is, by no means, a comprehensive list, but merely a start.
