Yes, CGI::IRC is a web client, which gets from my machine via port 80 (the regular web port) and does not require any installations, etc. It is the job of the server to figure that out. This makes it accessible to maximum audience from any location.
I was able to connect via service, http://ircproxy.emigrantas.com/ to two separate IRC servers with #jsoftware channels: irc.gnu.org irc.vel.net But I guess emigrantas just happened to allow connecting to those servers. --- Terrence Brannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > well, pjirc is trying to go out to port 6667 on irc.freenode.org (or > whatever IRC server) via _your_ machine. > > when you try CGI::IRC, it is connecting to 6667 via _its_ machine. > > So you cant really use CGI::IRC to connect to freenode or efnet.
