I've set up the bahamut ircd on fbsd and it runs fine right out of the
can.  Only problem you have is you may have to update your mp/gmp library
on some fbsd releases.

You can get bahamut (the Dalnet ircd) at www.bahamut.net

A 'bot' is a robot IRC user, with Eggdrop being one version of this.  The
discussion of bots <vbfg> is well out of the scope of this list.  ;-)

I'm sure you realize that running an IRC server can be a real can of
worms.  ;-)

Good day      JSW
