(HTML version included..SOON!)@{p}
Hello Amiga lovers everywhere !@{p}
@{cl}@{d %5}@{>}
If you have been on the chatlines, you certainly know how
worthless they are at the present time. Sure, if you want to sit on
your multi-thousand dollar computers and waste your valuable time
without hardly ever learning a thing, YOU most certainly disagree !
BUT, there are some of us Amiga owners who love the superiority of
the great AMIGA computer, and have gone onto the chat channels to
LEARN ! The AMIGA CHATLINE ORGANIZATION is for this group of people.
@{<}@{d %10}@{ucl}
@{font f3}@{b}
@{n}@{red}PURPOSE:@{font f1}@{n}
@{FG text}The AMIGA CHATLINE ORGANIZATION is committed to setting forth useful ideas to
help us all get the most out of our time on IRC chatlines.@{n}
@{a defa}@{rr}@{red}
These include:@{FG Text}
1) in-depth knowledge of IRC programs
2) rules of behaviour while online
3) uniform standards for kicks,bans,akicks,OPs,SOPs,& sound filenames
4) complete knowledge of IRC commands
5) new servers, new channels, and AMIGA CHATLINE events, and more...................
@{red}@{font f2}
WHY YOU SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN The AMIGA CHATLINE ORGANIZATION:
@{font f1}@{FG Text}
1) BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TIME ON YOUR AMIGA COMPUTER
2) BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TIME ONLINE
3) IF YOU ARE TIRED OF THE ASSHOLES ON THE CHATLINES, WHO BELIEVE IT IS RIGHT TO KICK
PEOPLE OUT OF CHANNELS "for fun", ATTACK AND INSULT YOUR FAMILY, and ALL OTHER FORMS
OF ABUSE AND MISCHIEF.

--LISTEN UP !
YOU SHOULD ONLY KICK, or GET KICKED FROM A CHANNEL FOR:
1) FOR FLOODING ANYONE.... FLOODING IS A CONSTANT STREAM OF TEXT TO HARRASS,
ANNOY, OR NUETRALIZE ANOTHER USER
2) For making violent threats and insisting that YOU are serious about carrying them out !
3) For insulting someone's family members ...AT ALL
4) For repeatedly insulting any user, in the MAIN channel window
5) For repeatedly insulting the Great Amiga computer..
6) For coming on an Amiga channel, using any computer EXCEPT AMIGAs
note: Most of us have found that non-amiga users cannot relate to the Amiga, due to it's
tremendous superiority over EVERY other platform known; except SGI(cost-$25,000 minimum)
If you find a rare exception to this, then, fine.
YOU SHOULD ONLY BAN, or GET BANNED FROM A CHANNEL FOR:
1) Repeating the above mentioned things that would get you kicked !
YOU SHOULD ONLY AKICK, or GET KICKED FROM A CHANNEL FOR:
1) Repeatedly doing the above mentioned things that would get you banned
Otherwise.. total freedom of speech is the rule. You may argue,chat, or come to learn.
I have only learned 1 single time on the chatline.

@{a defa}
NECCESSITY FOR HAVING UNIFORM SOUND FILENAMES:
Unless BOTH, the sender And reciver of a sound file have the file being
sent, no sound is heard or played ! Also,THE SOUND FILENAMES HAVE TO BE
THE SAME IN ORDER FOR ANY SOUND TO BE PLAYED OR HEARD. Yes, ye special
breed of computer lovers..the need for a sound filename standard is
desperately needed !
SOUND filename standards are in progress NOW..BUT we need YOUR
help. Send us your favorite sounds. Send no more than 5 files. 4 files
must be LESS THAN 100K...1 may be over 100K, but LESS THAN 200K. WE,in
turn will a)listen to all files b)decide best name for files c)pack
sound files into an lha archive(s) d)send all donators regular archives
e)files will be freely distributable f)files will be amiga snd,iff,8svx
Please NOTE: All sounds submitted which violate
Copyright laws, must
and will be deleted.....as if I should have to tell you cool AMIGANS !

@{rr}@{a c dw}
@{u}@{sc #ffdd00}@{s}@{mark "Some HELPFUL HINTS: "}@{u}
@{a defa}
1) Using AmIRC gives you the superiority over any situation
2) lag and netsplits are cut to a minimun under these conditions
a)when users are connected to the SAME name server
b)when using a Direct Client Connection or DCC
3) DalNet, Galaxynet, and Cobra are the best IRC networks.
Undernet.org, unfortuantely, is a broken down network.
4) You don't deserve to be kicked off a channel without a real reason
5) Avoid assholes restricting your access and banning you because you're
smarter than these violent dummies. I have talked with alot of these
people, and they refuse to stop attacking people. So, forget these
assholes, and come to AMIGA channels, to learn without being attacked.
6) The ONLY way to have complete control, while on the chatlines, is
to FOUND your own channel...and BTW..never point your anger or insults
at a channel FOUNDER..(you may NOT get back onto that channel again,
if you do !) The FOUNDER alone, has the power to akick (permanently
ban you)
7) An IRC channel is really a "communication station". Once connected,
there are many forms of communication possible; from typing text into
the main window, /msg people, send chanserv memos, sending/receiving
files, or holding computer training classes.
8) Once you connect to a channel, you can type /links to get a list of
ALL the servers connected to the Network you are on. Enter the name
of 1 or 2, closest to you geographically, in your channels-servers
list. You can also type /list to get a complete list of Channels
connected to that Network.

@{BG shine}@{black}A line of communications is pretty much being ignored.
This line is called chatlines.
@{a defa}
The world wide web has made it possible to access these lines of communications
so we can reach one another across the world.
So what are we doing with these lines of communications?
How are we using these lines, and what can we do around the world on these
lines of communication?
@{urr}
The chatlines are a good way to spread the support of the great Amiga, but
somethings wrong. When we got on line back in August there were a total of 1-3
Amiga channels. We knew that wasn't right, so we created an Amigachannel then
created another. We have about 10 Amiga channels now,compared to 3700 other
channels supported by the PC world. Yes, 10 to 3700 is a large difference;
so what are we amigans going to do about it ?@{n}
Some of us are doing something aboutit! We're creating one Amiga channel after
another, and spreading the great name of the greatest computer. Some are
joining in and doing this same thing. We could use more Amiga owners out there
to start their own channels and spread their ownknowledge of the Amiga.@{n}
Let's get on these lines and shout that the Amiga still lives. The Amiga has
far more ability than any PC or MAC and other computers , and we amigaowners know
it. The best thing that we can do is get on line with these amigas and present
our great work that we amigans do with our great computers. The power of the
Amiga can speak for itself.@{n}
The PC world has tried to destroy the Amiga; but,that great computer just stands
through any destruction that comes against it. We need totake our amigas and go
forward like we've never done before. The chatlines are a good way to go forward
and support the amiga.@{n}
The chatlines present many ways to communicate and share the works of the amiga.
Taking the great work we do on our amigas and sharing with others and selling
the great ability of the great computer is a great start for the Amiga. We need
to strive to blast the name of the Amiga and give the best we have.@{n}
If we want to keep the amiga around we are going to have to act now. The amiga
needs that support, so lets give it. The chatlines are supposed to be a commun-
ications device, so lets please use it that way. International communication has
not been any easier.@{n}

@node CHATLINESAMIRC "Chatlines-AmIRC"
@{rr}@{a c dw}
@{u}@{sc #ffdd00}@{s}@{mark "Chatlines & AMIRC "}@{u}
@{urr}@{a defa}
AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol. IRC stands for
Internet Relay Chat In a nutshell, IRC consists of a network of computers
(servers) that are connected to each other via the internet or a LAN, and allow
users with proper client software to connect and chat with each other. Within
this network, virtual space is divided up into channels, usually with a topic of
conversation, where users can talk in groups. If you don't have Amirc, you can
go to http://www.vapor.com/amirc and download your IRC program and you can get
to supporting your amiga on the chatlines. Now, here are a few things to get you
on your way connected to a server and on a channel of your choice@{n}
@{a c dw}
.........@{n}
What is needed to run AmIRC?@{n}
****************************@{p}
@{a defa}
Hardware ========@{n}
AmIRC was written for the Amiga family of computers, and has been tested on
1200, 2000, 3000, & 4000 computers in various configurations.
Software ========@{n}
AmIRC requires About MUI v.3.1 or later in order to run. AmIRC requires
KickStart & WorkBench 2.x or later, with setpatch 40.16 installed.@{p}
AmIRC020 requires a 68020 or higher CPU, OS3.0 or newer, and MUI 3.1 or newer.
If you do not have anyone of these, you must use the 68000 version of AmIRC. If
you plan to run a TCP/IP stack and MUI and AmIRC, among other Internet
applications, you should have at least 2 megabytes of RAM.@{p}
Finally, You need to have a tcp/ip protocol stack running, such as AmiTCP/IP or
Amiga technology's as225r2 tcp/ip protocol stack, With a slip, cslip, or ppp
connection to the internet or an ethernet LAN.@{p}
Alternatively, AmIRC will work with Multilink and a shell internet account.
NOTE: As Mlink does not automatically set the HOSTNAME variable, this must be
done when starting mlink. Env:hostname must contain the full domain name for
your amiga, i/e 'calci.amiganet.pgh.net'. You must have OS 3.x in order to use
sounds in AmIRC. AmIRC has its own installer script and requires that you have
the Amiga installer utility (version 1.24 or later) located in your sys:c
directory.@{p}
@{a c dw}
Getting AmIRC to run@{n}
********************@{p}
@{a defa}
Requirements ============@{n}
To install, just click on the install icon, and answer the questions in the
installer's requestors. If you cannot or prefer not to use the installer utility, a manual
install is very simple, just move the contents of the archive to a directory of
your choice and it's ready to use. If you have met the Requirements for the
optimized version of AmIRC, delete the AmIRC file and rename "AmIRC020" as
"AmIRC".@{p}
@{a c dw}
Connecting to a server@{n}
**********************@{n}
@{a c dw}
Setup =====@{n}
Once you have Installed AmIRC, run the AmIRC program from WB by clicking on
its icon. After a few moments you will see the server connect requester appear.
First type in a nickname in the first text gadget at the top of the requester.
If you intend to use a nick that may be common, try typing in some variations
in the next three boxes. This way, if your nick is in use by another person,
the client will retry with the next nick. Next, enter your real name and your
email address or www home page URL in the next text gadget. It is probably a
good idea to be truthful here. :)@{n}
Then, enter a username that will show as
username
@machine.network.org.
username
should be the same as the login ID for your service provider. Now
you are ready to connect. Just click on a server from the supplied list or
click new server entry and type the address and port number of your favorite
server and then click connect. Optionally, you can choose one or a few
channels to autojoin, just separate them with a comma. If you are already
connected, and wish to connect to a second server, click connect thread to
open a second instance of AmIRC. For instance, you're on dal.net and you can
go to galaxy .net also and you can be on both servers at the same time.@{n}
Now that you are on, and finding channels to go to, you can visit #Amiga3D
...it's on your list or you can type from the channel you are on ; /join
#Amiga3D dragon.dal.net and you will be on one of our channels. If you need
help, we will help. http://www.inet-direct.com/cooksey/ amiga3d htm/.
Supporting the Amiga is what it's all about here.

I will try to update this every few months, if I can. It's hard to ask anyone
to send any kind of fee for these A.C.O. documents. But, to insure the continuation
of this exclusive help, you should send some modest gift; software,hardware,cash,
or anything of value. Regardless, I will do what I can.
Thanks for your support !
