Subject:  [VOICENWS] Net: Announcement of the worldwide eCS IRC network

From: "Roderick Klein" <rwkleinatmensys.nl> 

First of all I want to give a BIG thanks and a round of applause to
Massimo Sangriso from Italy who came up with the idea to build up the IRC
network for eCS. He has invested much time in building the network.  The
network has been put up so eCS/OS/2 users can have a chat. Maybe drop a
question if they can't solve a problem. Or developers who want to talk
about a problem and want to try and get a fast answer..... 

In the last couple of months there has been worked hard on the eComStation
IRC network. There are currently 14 IRC servers in the network  active.
The network will continue to be expanded.

You can get an IRC client from hobbes http://hobbes.nmsu.edu. My personal
favorite (maybe not the best around), is EZIRC. Which has some easy
features. This and other clients can be found at Judy's Warped World  IRC
page: 

http://www.gt-online.com/~bri/irc_clients.html

If you don't want to dive into an IRC client goto www.ecomstation.com and
click on "support/FAQ for eCS". Choose for "Live eCS Chat" and click on
"open chat window". Choose your nickname and connect.  

The direct URL is:

Please note if your browser crashes it could be that you are running a
wrong version of Java (1.1.8 or 1.3 should work) or something is wrong 
with the configuration. The Java applet has been succesfully tested with 
Netscape 4.61 for OS/2, Opera for OS/2, Warpzilla for OS/2 and the IBM 
Browser for OS/2.  If you don't have an OS/2 box handy and you want to
connect, it also has  been tested with Netscape 6.2 and Internet Explorer
5.5 under Windows 2000. 

You can however via the webinterface only connect to the default eCS
channel.  If you want to reach other channels on the network, download an
IRC client  and connect to one of the servers directly. 

For the OS/2 advocates who would like to know. All servers in the network
so far are OS/2 /eCS machines. Possibly some Linux boxes will join in the
future.... But our intention is to keep it mainly running on OS/2 of
course... 


Enjoy
