====== Chat Now ====== | ====== Chat from Your Browser ====== |
| |
To chat on AfterNET, you can either download and install an IRC client or chat directly from your browser window. Many IRC clients are available for different operating systems. Once installed, connect to **[[irc://irc.afternet.org/AfterNET|irc.afternet.org]]**. Here are some IRC clients we like: | ===== qwebirc ===== |
* Windows: [[http://www.mirc.co.uk|mIRC]], [[http://silverex.org/|XChat]], [[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/|ChatZilla]] | |
* Mac OSX: [[http://xchataqua.sourceforge.net/|XChat]], [[http://colloquy.info/|Colloquy]], [[http://www.kvirc.net/|KVIrc]], [[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/|ChatZilla]] | |
* Linux: [[http://www.xchat.org/|XChat]], [[http://www.kvirc.net/|KVIrc]], [[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/|ChatZilla]], [[http://konversation.kde.org/|Konversation]], [[http://www.irssi.org/|irssi]] | |

If you'd rather chat from within your web browser, try one of the following: | |
* [[https://qwebirc.afternet.org/|AfterNET qwebirc]]: Our new web-based IRC client. Excellent! | |
* [[https://www.afternet.org/cgigw/|AfterNET CGI:IRC]]: Our other very old web-based IRC client. | |
* [[chat|Java Chat Applet]]: Requires that you have [[http://java.sun.com/|Java]] installed. Old and slow. | |
* [[http://embed.mibbit.com/?server=irc.afternet.org&channel=%23afternet|Mibbit.com WebChat]]: Supports multiple networks. Has advertisements and frogs. | |
