Re: [TCLUG:10789] IRC general question



best thing to do about IRC: find another server.. EFNet is large enough,
that you have a much wider range of servers to choose from..

irc.cs.cmu.edu
irc.idle.net
irc.freei.com
irc.core.com
irc-w.frontiernet.net
irc.mindspring.com

try some of those..

Thank You,
