You're setting up an internal chat room like I told you about? Very cool if you can get everyone to use it. I'm not sure what we used at Genuity. If that's what you're doing, getting people to use it on a regular basis is the key to success. It's gotta become a 'water cooler' and not just a place to ask questions. If you have lots of windows users, maybe getting a server that does AIM would be better. Lots of people have AIM installed by default so it might be easier to get them to use it. They're also likely more familiar with the client. There are lots of Linux clients too. Jabber is another thought. > >While you're at it, pointers/recommendations on IRC clients would >also be gratefully accepted :) I *really* like epic on linux. Character based & I have macros that let you have multiple windows. Xchat works too for people that don't want to learn the keystrokes. Gaim has a plugin for IRC as does everybuddy and probably some others. On windows, I've used one based on tcl/Tk (ircle?). -- ------- Tom Buskey ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
