I had an idea... anyone interested in starting an IRC chat channel somewhere? Don't know if it has ever been brought up before, but would be kinda cool to go live once in awhile.

Well, DalNat is always a good choice, simply because of the fact there are so many damn servers! *lol*

Just set up a #dell8k channel on DalNet, feel free to drop by everyone

I will have to wait until I get home, if no one is using the computer

Wouldn't mind using Austnet, have been IRCing there since 1995......

Question though, are most of the people in the DELL forums from US or where abouts??

Hmm, good question actually. What is everyone's preferred IRC server? I'm in AU, however I regularly use DalNet or NewNet.

well people, I guess we need to get this sorted out so that we can go "live" sooner.

Dalnet doesn't bother me, just not as familiar with all the commands.

Any ideas for Channel names??

Well, as I said just before, I've set up a #dell8k channel on Dalnet which everyone is free to use Or if that isn't suitable, suggestions?

By the way, www.dal.net has a list of commands available that you can use.

*lol* It really isn't that difficult Amia. Unless you want to get fancy, all you need to know how to do is join a channel and set your nick, and MIRC can handle that for you anyway

Would anyone be interested in a live real time Voice Server. I have my own server and can set up a another Teamspeak server so everyone can connect and talk to each other in REAL TIME.

The software if free so there is no cost to anyone here. It works very well .. I use it for a few gaming clans and have one set up for tech support ..

OK I set one of for testing to see if people would actually use it. You can get TeamSpeak here:
ftp://webpost.teamspeak.org/releases...t_rc2_2032.exe

If the link doesn't work let me know and I can set up a mirror ..

To connect you need to use this address and port number:
207.44.158.84:9015

There is no password so that can be left blank ..

If you need help setting it up just let me know or you can go to the TeamSpeak forums here:
http://www.teamspeak.org/forums/index.php?s=


To see who might be online you can look at the stats page here:

voice is a good idea except for the fact that it would be more difficult for me to use whilst at work.

Meh. I'm not the lan nazi, however I find amusement in getting around the firewalls at both uni and work *lol* The university one I've pretty much gotten around completely by forwarding a port on the Linux server to my home firewall and using that to view webpages (blocks their filters completely then ), and as for work... I have Trillian working through the firewall, but that's about it.

yeah most messenger type progs will get through these days because they've changed the packets to look just like http port 80 traffic, and as such, indefinetly find it's way around firewalls and filters.

raveng - there is a difference in "getting around" a University network and a Department of Defense network . I can assure you the DOD computer system is far more locked down than your school and all the traffic is ACTIVELY monitored (there is no right to privacy on DOD computer systems) .. And the punishement for "getting around" is also FAR more severe than anything the school would give out.
