Every Thursday evening a number of fireheads gather in Internet Relay
Chat (IRC),
toss Firesign lines back and forth, pass or bogart the virtual smokes, and
generally have a good time. This takes place at 9pm Eastern time in
DALnet, one of the parallel IRC networks.
When you get into your regular IRC, type /server
irc.dal.net to get to DALnet, then type /join
#firesign to join us. It may take a few tries to get to DALnet
- if you can't get on the default server, you can try typing one of the
following:
/server
lineone.uk.eu.dal.net
/server shiva.va.us.dal.net
/server liberty.nj.us.dal.net
/server orion.fl.us.dal.net
/server qis.md.us.dal.net
/server gothic.tx.us.dal.net
/server dragon.ut.us.dal.net |
/server
glass.oh.us.dal.net
/server megasoft.wa.us.dal.net
/server rutgers.nj.us.dal.net
/server skypoint.mn.us.dal.net
/server stlouis.mo.us.dal.net
/server uncc.nc.us.dal.net
/server voyager.ca.us.dal.net |
Here is a list of 410 more irc servers.
There are other DALnet servers throughout the
country and even internationally. For more information, including where to get
the best IRC client software for your system, visit the DALnet web site at
