You have to /SIGNAL the channel that you want to join... type 
/SIG #channelname.


(don't do that. :)  It's really /JOIN #channelname)

 Good grief.  The original poster finally stopped pursuing this, and you
feel the need to pick up the torch?  Let the bloody thing rest.  I've
only been following the newsgroup a couple of weeks and already I'm
sick of this thread.  Snip it!!!!
 The next person who posts an 'expose' on IRC relationships is going
to be flooded by tiny little power surges which will eventually erode
whatever electrical connection thye use to access the InterNet/UseNet
resulting in a slow and painful net death.  Good or bad, what is the
point of endlessly discussing this?  Take it to alt.soc or sci.soc or
somewhere.

I've been using irc since last year and it seems that this trend is on the rise.  Last year there were real people that I made friendships with. This year there are not many people that are as sociable.
Solution:  local chat networks. And If enough of us get together, another irc-like network(except with nicer people) to break the internet monopoly. Eventually the rude people will be left behind in the "old" irc and a better chat system will go on.
If anyone agrees with me let me know. I seem to see a lot of dissatisfied people posting here. I have had my share of unpleasatness myself.

Another option, discussed last summer, was a server ignore command which
would allow servers to ignore specific commands from other servers.  The
problem is that that would require a fundamental change in the protocol,
creating two classes of server messages: request action and confirm action.
Right now, several messages serve as both the request action and the
confirm action.

  Anyone else out there have an "advanced" ircrc? 
  Not sure how mine compares to yours, but I have a 5 line window made at
execution, which displays on private messages, and public messages with my
nick in them.  Really helpful when you leave your terminal, and wish to stay
in a channel.  (or if you are not paying much attention, etc).  Also I have
it go right to irc... (At 1200 baud any other repeative information is
annoying.)  
  If you do have an irc that has neat ideas in it, I'd appreciate it if
you'd E-Mail it to me, or just tell me what your ideas are.  Same if you
have anay ideas that you never got around to putting in.

Bottom line ... you can probably write your bot in any language you want.
C, Perl, Lisp, REXX, Basic, Ada, Modula, Pascal, Fortran, Cobol, Forth ...
take your pick.  Of course, some languages may be a little harder to write
a bot in than others ...

Contrary to popular belief, one CAN write a decent bot in IRCII scripts.
(Hint #1 ... Read it once, and then throw Baloo's 'botdoc' file in the trash
...)  It may be somewhat limited in what it can do, but it's specifically
designed for IRC, and allows one to write a bot very quickly, even starting
from scratch.  And with the proper programming, it can do most of the things
the bots written in C or Perl can do.  And it's also quite simple to use IRCII
as a front end to a program written in another language, so your bot will be
a hybird of both languages ...

Hi all I have a small prob with my bot: I'd like to check
how many /dcc connections it has.

So I tried this (irc 2.2pre7):

on msg "% test" {
 redirect montarss dcc list
}

But it doesn't work. The bot is unable to redirect the output
of /dcc list

"/redirect montarss dcc list" works fine when running the bot
interactively but not when in background (-b option).

Can anyone understand that? sounds like a bug.

Furthermore, is it possible for the bot to react when a /dcc
connection is completed or lost? There is no /on for that in the
help files.

Last thing: irc 2.2pre7 seems to crash and to dump core when
too many /dcc conns are open. Sounds like a bug too?

  Here's what I am trying to do...  
  I want to put a /exec in my .ircrc that will telnet to an address 
  send a few commands, and wait for the site I am telneting to to stop
  sending data before I turn the display back on.  (That's the hard 
  part) 
  I am not to familiar with the /if's and so on, so is there any way I can
  issue a command to wait for the /exec to send a certain character or 
  prompt, such as a question mark, etc. 
  (in other words make a small script to telnet to and log into another
  machine, through irc) Don't ask why. :) 
  The part I've been having the worst luck with is getting it to log in, 
  without producing any output on my screen.  I've tried using /wait's
  and /sleeps but they just don't seem to work. 
  I've also tried this through an alias, by making a new window, 
  executing the telnet, hiding the window, issuing /sleep's and /wait's 
  and then showing and killing the window, but this does not seem to7 work.
 Most of the outputt is still sent to me. 
Any help at all will be appreciated.

I have an account on internet.   A friend of mine has an account on JAnet in 

UK.   Is there any way we can use the utility "talk" over the network?

Thanks
