  • Question on Services and IRC

    From Rick V@VERT/FILECABI to All on Thursday, April 24, 2025 12:04:35
    Hello All.

    Can someone explain to me what's the plus of turning on the IRC in services? I see that the serives window shows all the IRC routing, but would it be a added feature to users or me? I've read the wiki, and even printed that section out. I believe I've go the setting correct, just wondering if I'm messing something.

    Thanks,
    Rick V

    It's a chat server, so you could have a
    client always connected to it and have
    a client on your BBS that connects to
    it... then whoever is on the BBS and
    runs the IRC client can chat with
    whoever else is connected with their
    own IRC client (doesn't have to be the
    BBS, but it could be even another BBS).
    Probably doesn't add that much value
    unless your users are into that sort of
    thing... I like to use it to pass URLs
    between different old computers ;).

    Probably not much plus since the 'R' (IRC) chat menu option just connects to the irc.synchro.net network already.

    service then, so as a logon user you
    can just IRC from within the BBS.

    The IRC client on the BBS can be
    configured to connect to whatever
    server you want. The IRC server service
    allows you to have your own chat area
    (or server) separate from whatever
    random public is using IRC out there.
    Like if you have a group of friends
    that wanted to chat somewhere without
    the possibility of randos joining or
    something.
