I think it’d be great to get this chat feature working for once…so everyone go there now. I’ll be there for the next 10 minutes. I’m not sure how to make it work but we’ll see.
Andrew
Where’d still in there…all 4 of us. There were 5 at one stage. It’s great fun, join us.
I think we should refresh this thread whenever people are in there so we can coordinate things a bit.
Andrew
do you need anything special to use it or does it just take forever to load? either way, didn’t work for me…
It’s a Java applet so you’ll need Java installed on your machine. If you’re running IE you’ll also need to set your security settings to allow Java to run applets.
Microsoft is discontinuing support for their Java run time so the best Java option now is Sun’s flavor of Java. You can download Sun’s Java run time from here
thanks john! i got it working with a slightly older version then the one on that link.
ugghh, now it just fails to connect.
I’m able to connect to
acool.ga.us.dal.net 6667
The first server it tried to connect to was
irc.dal.net 6667
That one did not connect
The second server it tried to connect to was
virtex.hub.us.dal.net 6667
That one did not connect
The third server it tried was
acool.ga.us.dal.net 6667
That’s the one it finally connected to
If you have problems you might want to try updating your version of Java. I don’t know if it will make a difference, but it might.
i can connect to acool.ga.us.dal.net 6667 but eventually it says “no ident response” and goes through a bunch of crap before it just ends the connection.
Cor! Since leaving uni I can actually use IRC again… 
Phil
im all alone…nobody to chat with?
the applet seems to work half the time,but the chime that lets you know when theres a reply has never worked,right Phil?
Well, I say that IRC will work now I’m not behind the university’s firewall. Blind optimism…
Took blummin’ ages to find a server that would work; mIRC just sat there for ages whinging. Finally found one… and no-one’s there… 
Phil
this is cool,lets keep this thread up on top so people will keep coming in the chat.its working fine now.
Chat is still on… Sofa & Brian came in but said nothing & left…
Sofa is Brian, I logged on, left to make toast, said my name was used and I never confirmed…tried it again with Brian and got interested in something else
I’ll try this again
if it changes your name to somthing you don’t like try:

I’m in the chat as of 8:15 PM EST. I’ll probably be there for the next hour or so, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll remember to check if anyone else has come in.
Gee I miss this thread. Sorry. I’ve been Fishing lately. Haven’t caught a Thing on Saturday morning and afternoon. But This afternoon I caught 2 small Bream and I Kiss it and I Throw it back.
