RIGHT! Maybe it's not for everyone. As Charlie stated, you could install ircii or bitchx or etc... but what if you prefer a GUI? Grab an X server for windows and check out http://www.defcon1.org/x11ssh.html and if you have any qustions about how to do it, write me back. I've been running mine like this for some time now. X-Win Pro, Exceed, Reflections X, the list goes on... take your pick. -Otter That's usually not the }smartest idea in the world, but if there's a problem with }ident (tcp: }113), then it may be due to your firewall blocking it. Therefore, }install ircii or bitchX and try it from there. } }Is the IRC server saying you have a problem with identd, or does it }just say you're unauthorised? BTW, if you're trying to get onto }Efnet lately, and your ISP doesn't *own* an Efnet server, you're }going to run into a lot of this; they won't allow users that aren't }special.
