IRC channel #freeps open for realtime on-line chat 24/7.
Stop in and meet other freepers in a live [irc] chat. Romulus the bot will greet you on the way in.
Most modern browsers support irc chat sessions, along with specific chat clients like PircH and mIRC for windows, and Xchat and Konversation for linux. Colloquy is availible for mac OSX.
General instructions:
log on to irc.freenode.net:8001
(in some cases, irc://irc.freenode.net will work)
when the server gets done with it's messages, pick a nickname (your FR name) and type /nick [your FR name]
then type /msg nickserv register to register your nickname
then type /join #freeps
Youre in! (then announce yourself, and say Hello!
I have never done anything like this before. Does this mean to put irc.freenode.net:8001 into the address bar of my browser and hit enter? When I tried that, I got an error message and the browser closed. I have IE6.0 ... should it work for my browser?I have never tried anything like this before ... just curious to see if it would work.
Bump for later
I don't know how this works either. This link looks like it might be helpful for those of us who need more information to get started.

I was looking for the imbedded chat window in a browser I used in the mid 90s to chat on prodigy. I cant find it, but came across this.

you can find one where you dont have to download and install a 3rd party software like pirch, mirc or a mirc addon http://www.havenofbliss.com/christiancommand/

Hmm that jarred my memory. I used dalnet in IE after prodigy classic merged to prodigy internet. I was able to go to same sites using dalnet
I'm lost. Too much work.
Somebody will figure out how to log in eventually....
LOL!
LOL!
I dont have time to anymore or I might. Havent used a chat client in over 6 yrs. Now I do feel old! I get all my news and info here, dont really spend time browsing the net anymore. have fun!
I get "NOTICE AUTH :*** No identd (auth) response"
Almost as helpful as "Sorry, an Error has occurred. The Error has been logged."
there is a box you need to click "on" depending on your client called "identd" or "enable identd"
I need to bookmark this!
