Well all Right!!
Last Friday about six staggerred into the chat room
Now I am aware that last week and the previous Friday a total of at least four failed to get in (2 posted on the Newsgroup and two on corfid) but nobody provided any details of what method they tried
On order to try to resolve this if you can't get in please e-mail me at
fowlesjohn@hotmail with as much detail as possible
Since lst Friday I have been a'googling and I think I know a bit more how Internet Relay Chat works and I have now devised a basic entry page to a chat room on a channel gordonlightfootchat linked to the IRC server dilex.net which is accessible both from your browser using a Java applet that I have uploaded to my site or via the recommended chat client mIRC
There is also a link that (providing you have already downloaded and installed mIRC) avoids the necessity of configuring mIRC altogether
so ladies and gentlemen
lets try tonight at 9pm EST at:-
