[ale] Chat

[JP]

I agree ith George Ytalk for inhouse chat sessions is great with your users.

If, however your referring to IRC Chat, my preferences are for a GUI based 
session and ease of use: XChat.

For non-GUI based, BitchX or Epic with a nice little script added like Anduril 
or others ( helps with windowing sessions etc ).

P.S. don't forget if you go with a non-GUI type to create/add/edit your .ircrc 
file.

NOTE: the "#" those are comments and keep the specific line from being excuted 
or to add comments.

Below is an example of one I use:

ON ^MSG * ECHO <$Z> *$0* $1-
ON ^NOTICE * ECHO <$Z> -$0\- $1-
ON ^PUBLIC * ECHO [$Z] ^B:$0:^B $2-

^set novice off

# User-Defined SET's. These SETs are left aside for you to customize.
# Remove the leading '#' to uncomment the SET you enable/modify, if not
# just leave it.

# SUPPRESS_SERVER_MOTD - Suppress the display of the screen-lagful Message-Of-
# The-Day that shows up when you connect to a server.
# change it to "OFF" if you dont want to see the MOTD.
#set suppress_server_motd on

# REALNAME - The text that apprears in your WHOIS info display.
# change it to whatever you want your WHOIS info to say.
set realname ^Bhttp://www.rarepenguin.org^B

# USER_INFORMATION - text shown when someone does CTCP USERINFO request to 
you.
set user_information  ^Bwolf^B
