(I don't know the number of unsuccessful attempts if any). Since there are still people there at 8 am, I assume it is working. For those who get this by email: We are testing a new java-based Chat client for IRC Network <a href="http://www.faqt.org/chat1.html">Chat</a> Channel: #quizbowl Network: mesa.az.us.undernet.org Post constructive comments to mailing list Note: Jpilot chat client is now registered -- so no more 'register me' comments Alternatively try mIRC (for Windows) IRCle (for Macs) or xchat (among others for *nix) - another nice thing about IRC is the wealth of client software. -- dml -- In quizbowl_at_y..., jheld82 <no_reply_at_y...> wrote: > I am unable to access irc.mindspring.com from my ISP.
