- No,no,no... You don't need your own personal server to use irc. Just ftp
- a client from csd.bu.edu from the /pub/irc/clients directory. Then compile
- it for your system type and connect to something like "csd.bu.edu" or
- "penfold.ece.uiuc.edu". Once you're on go to #Twilight_Zone and ask what
- the server nearest you is then use that one. Actually, read the bi-weekly
- how to compile and install an ircII client for more info.
