Hi,
Thanks for the info. While writing my IRC Client in REBOL I checked a few
of the IRC channels on various nets for REBOL active channels. One exists
(i.e., is registered) on DALnet, but I've run into only one person on there
during my experimenting. My client works fine with DAL, but won't work with
UNDERnet (different protocol, and I've been unable to determine what is
different), and I've not been able to reach the EFNet servers you listed
here. (Most don't even give a ping reply.) Can you say what port they
listen on? Would seem reasonable to have an active IRC location for
rebolers to share ideas and problems in real-time.

PS -- The idea of a "bridge" sounds cool :), though with no activity I'm
not sure it serves a practical purpose.
