Is RFC chat still around or has it gone by the wayside? If it's still
around, where can I find it? Either I am blind as a bat or the java link
on the website is no longer there. Thanks.

I downloaded mIRC last night. I've used mIRC at
various times over the years and always deleted it
eventually as I could only stand so much
infantile cybersex before I'm maxed out(LOL)....
seriously though- vexnet was not one of the
servers listed and I couldn't get it all added
correctly. I can't figure out what to do next to
find the RFC chat? Any one with suggestions?

Vexnet is the name of the group of servers. Somewhat like usenet is a group
of newsgroups. And irc3.penguinpowered.ca is kinda like the news server.
Once connected to irc3.penguinpowered.ca. The command
required is "/Join #Rec.Food.Cooking". Make note of the / and the #
the / is used at the start of a line to indicate the start of a command.
The # is used to indicate the start of a Channel name. The periods in
#Rec.Food.Cooking are only required for spelling reasons.
If irc3.penguinpowered.ca doesn't connect after say 6 or 7 tries, Try to
irc5.penguinpowered.ca.
There are a host of other commands some nice to know. Like the /Nick
command. The Syntax for the /Nick command is /Nick nickname. Where nickname
is the handle you want to represent you. like the /List command. Before
connecting to any IRC network and channel I suggest you read up on the
commands and your IRC client. mIRC has many shortcuts you can
immplement...look-up aliases and popups in the help feature and get
familiar with a script editor.
Another feature is If you type "irc://irc3.penguinpowered.ca" into windows
browser you are taken to the connect screen of mIRC.

sf, you're really making it hard on yourself. The easy way is to use the
link that Christine gave way back when. It will take you straight to the
rfc chatroom, period.
http://www.penguinpowered.ca/~vexor...od.cooking.html
Log in - it will call you "Anonymous". Type /nick (sf, or whatever name
you want to use). You're there. Period. Don't bother with all the other
"stuff".

Yes - check my post of a couple of minutes ago to sf. Good luck, Goomba.
We have Christine Dabney to thank for this easy route to the chatroom.

No, we have to thank Crash's friends for the easy link to get to the
chatroom. Not me.
I only posted about it, and told people to go there, that it would
make getting to the chat room easier.

Actually, Nancy Young and all the others in the channel are probably
cursing me, that I posted the link. A ton of people started showing
up, right after I posted that link...
We used to have such a nice sleepy little channel..... ;)
Just kidding folks...it is nice to see and talk with you all.

Thanks, it was too late last night to email Michael. I'll
email both of you tomorrow because I'm going to a wedding in
a couple of hours.

I'll drop by the Netscape/Mozilla ng and ask what they
recommend. I use Firebird, which is browser only - to my
knowledge.

No one was "home" last night by the time I finally looked
in. Will drop by and try to say Hi before I hop into the
shower and take off to that wedding.

The jump is "the way". It used to be plain IRC. Now it's
MIRC and there is a gap that I've never managed to forge.

Yeah, it was fun. It's quiet sometimes, sometimes it's roudy, you
takes your chances. Wouldn't it be funny if people were still
coming around when Jill gets back from her trip? She'll fall off
her chair.

I don't do irc anymore. But, there are several irc clients other than mirc.
I used to use pirch, but the originator got tired of maintaining and it
faded away. If you google for "irc client", you should find all kinds of
info. Here's one that look pretty good:
http://www.newircusers.com/clients.html
You might check your browser, also. Some include an irc client. For
example, the Mozilla web browser for linux includes a built-in irc client.
