Greetings all...
I've a few questions for all the irc gurus out there.  After FTP'ing and 
compiling and installing an irc client and using it successfully for about
a month, suddenly I can no longer connect to my server that I have been using
all along.  I've tried using the /SERVER command to connect to other nearby
servers, but I always get the same message: "Unable to connect: Connection
Refused".  I've tried recompiling the entire client again, but that doesn't
help any.  What went wrong?  Did I unknowingly break some net protocall or
did the entire IRC community self-destruct or is there some obscure 
configuration parameter I have overlooked?
	Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.  Please reply via
e-mail to the following, as I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup.

finished yet, and some of the remaining I'm unsure about (a lot has
already been deleted which was old/irrelevant and serving no purpose).

Before that, I'd like some comment on it so far (someone may be able
to write the BNF better than me for example).

A postscript IRC introductory paper and manual has been available for a few
weeks now on some famous IRC ftp sites (nic.funet.fi, csd.bu.edu,
ftp.ucsu.buffalo.edu, coombs.anu.edu.au ...)
The file is called 'IRCprimer.ps.Z' and is about 300 Kb.
You can 'uncompress' it and print it on a postscript printer or use
a previewer (ghostview, psview...)

For instance, on unix systems you can type "zcat IRCprimer.ps.Z | lpr"
to print it, or with ftp if you don't want to keep a copy, in binary
transfer mode just type...
                 ftp> get IRCprimer.ps.Z "|zcat|lpr"

Unfortunately, I won't be able to release an ascii version or the LaTeX
code until october :(    (and I'm on holidays too *smile*)

Enjoy for the 2 cents it's worth, but DON'T flood my mailbox please !
Also, could someone correct the list of ftp site above and post some

Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1992 03:59:50 GMT

As part of my Masters Degree I want to look at how students can take more
control of their learning environments by establishing collegiate work
groups or networks amongst themselves.

At the moment I am conducting a case study amongst 30 Graduate Social
Science students a the University of Tasmania.  As part of this case study
I am looking at the differences between how groups perform on a given task
(in this case the development of a data base) under different communication
conditions.

Ten individuals make up the first group that use conventional methods to
communicate (i.e. talking face-to-face, memos, group meetings)  Group two
also consists of ten individuals who are only allowed to use computer
mediated communication amongst themselves (i.e. E-mail, Talk, IRC) The
remaining ten people will work by themselves on this project and as such 
they will be allowed to use what ever communications method they want to
contact each other.

I want to discover if there are any major differences in both productivity
and group dynamics when conventional communication methods are used and
when comunication is via computer.

I am also hoping to discover any possible problems with both methods and if
there is an effective way that one or a combination of both methods can be
used to produce a work group organisation that is not only productive but
collegiate in nature.

To add to the case study that I am looking at for this univeristy I would like
to hear from any people who regularly use IRC as a way to communicate with
a work/study partner or group who would be interested to use IRC as a
communication meduim in a future project to be completed soon.

If there is anyone interested in being involved in a case study of this
nature would they contact me and I will send them more information on my
Thesis itself and what I would like them to do as part of the study I am
conducting

For those who wish to use it, the SantaFe client is now back in
operation.  Owing to the large volume of complaints that he considered
to be justified, the last IRC admin at that site decided to close his
doors.

I have no personal interest in running either the client or the server
at that site.  However, it seems that there is a large enough demand
from the IRC community, and enough desparation, and I am willing to
take over the IRC administration at that site.

If there are any problems, they can be mailed to me at
gwydion@gnu.ai.mit.edu.  In closing, I should mention that Scott
took the santafe clients down because of the excessive number of
complaints.  I repeat: I have no personal interest in running IRC
there, and if the complaints become too onerous, I too will deal
with the matter in the same way.

Enjoy.  Use.  Don't abuse.

I don't know; what've you done for the server lately?

Yeah, there are problems.  It's a volunteer, spare-time effort, you
know; these things happen.  Complaining about it tends not to do
anything; actually sitting down and working on it does.

Complaining about faked usernames did little; adding IDENT code has done
*something*, at least.

     I got back to college two days ago after a full summer without IRC.
After IRCing off and on again for these two days I asked myself the all-
important question, "Why am I doing this?"  I couldn't come up with an
answer.

     This is it.  I've decided to quit.  I guess it was a combination of
things that made quit, but the reasons aren't important.  What is important
is that I am done.  I'm walking away from IRC forever.

     I felt I had to post this so I couldn't change my mind.  I ask
everyone who still uses IRC to hold me to my promise of quiting.
