    Post What is IRC?

    Someone has mailed me this address to look at.

    irc.infatech.com #bandwidth

    What is it and how can I view it?

    You'll need mIRC from <a href="http://www.mirc.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.mirc.co.uk</a>
    Install it and set it to connect to irc.fatech.com or whatever the server was. Pick a username and once you're connected type "/join #bandwidth" to connect to the channel. If you're at work, your firewall manager has probably blocked irc connections. See <a href="http://www.mirc.co.uk/ircintro.html" target="_blank">http://www.mirc.co.uk/ircintro.html</a> for a detailed summary of irc.

    IRC = Internet Relay Chat

    very old school not worth it anymore, but you may have fun. Lots and Lots of chatting

    server = irc.infatech.com
    channel = #bandwidth

    warning watch out for some virus's out there (I think theres a nimda exploit for MIRC)

    gets a good anti virus and a firewall when you go IRCing
