We are a startup ISP that will be utilizing BSDI's Internet :) Server for Unix and are curious as to what we need to do to provide :) our customers with a dedicated IRC server. Simular to Netcom, we :) basically would like our clients to be able to use our server to :) connect to one of the IRC Networks, such as Efnet, Undernet, etc. Is :) there a particular software package for BSDI Unix that would allow us :) to do this. You can get software from the Boston University ftp site. In order to be "allowed" to talk to EFnet, you more or less have to beg and plead to the current powers-that-be and convince them that you can add value to the existing network. Unless you've got a T3, they'll likely just chuckle and send you on your way. Good luck, Chris -- Christopher Mauritz | For info on internet access: ritz@interactive.net | finger/mail info@interactive.net OR IBS Interactive, Inc. | http://www.interactive.net/
