Shankar,
Please run a query with the string "IRC Servers" at freshmeat.net...you
will come up with quite a bit of info on what is there already....I think
it would be more interesting to work on the Instant Messaging Server and
client idea we discussed on the phone....I will try to see if I can cook up
some specs for this...you do the same and then we can compare notes.
