After some abortive attempts trying to get a desktop client working (could connect but not log in) I started searching for a web-based client and found
http://ircatwork.com "This is a free, open-use web based IRC client. You can use this IRC client to connect to ANY IRC server." Using that I was able to successfully connect to irc.freenode.org & #jsoftware (unfortunately no one else was there!) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oleg Kobchenko > Sent: Thursday, 19 April 2007 11:31 > To: General forum > Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] #jsoftware, irc channel > > Desktop IRC client most likely requires a non-standard port > to be open in the firewall.
