You may find it useful to print this page out for reference.
Here is what you need to do to take part in IRC chats:
- Download suitable IRC software.
- Configure the program to connect to IRC server called brisbane.qld.au.undernet.org and port number 6667.
- Select "Connect" to actually carry out the connection.
- Wait...it may take a minute or so to connect. You will see a screenful of information about the server.
- Enter a nickname, say Ricky, for yourself by typing:
/nick Ricky
- Join the discussion forum or "channel" by entering:
/join #netfreedom
- Have fun typing your thoughts!
Here are some other useful commands:
-
/bye
- Quit the IRC program
/leave #netfreedom
- Leave the forum/channel called #netfreedom. The "#" indicates that this is a public channel.
-
/me action

/me scratches head might display: Ricky scratches head.
-
/whois nick
- Displays information about user called "nick".
-
