I'll take the opportunity to add something positive to all the warning
signers and newbie flamers...
You can find some info material via ftp from
cs.bu.edu in the /irc/support directory.
I can recommend the 'IRCprimer' manual (available as text or ps).

Happy New Year,    (and use IRC reasonably :-)

This is something I've been wondering about for a long time.  It may be a
feature, but to me it is an annoyance.

There are times when my client seems to want to pause after a page of text.
When I hit return to continue, I get a literal ^M character, as if I had
typed a ^Q in.

Is there any way to disable this flow control problem?  It's more a nuisance
than a help.  It's almost as if the terminal server or Ultrix (OS) is sending
^S/^Q pairs for flow control, but IRC isn't processing them as XON/XOFF
command characters, but rather letting at least the ^Q into the command input
stream.

Thanks in advance...

I don't run bots here, and I'm getting 4808 hours over a period of 30 days,
or about 160 hours a day (calculated with gawk since I'm loo lazy to FTP). I
take it this is acceptable under what you're saying above?

Sounds extremely like a client problem to me..  the client you are using
is sending "CHANNEL #channel" not "JOIN #channel" ..  as the CHANNEL command
has been replaced/removed, etc..  if you have fiddled with any of the source
files for ircd, then you might have mucked something up, and the client
(sounds like ircII) defaults to ircd version 2.5 (which had CHANNEL) ..
Try recompiling from scratch..

/window is a function of IrcII (check cs.bu.edu for latest version).

Some of the emacs clients let you do windows by using buffers and sending
the output of various command to hidden buffers, etc.

Since most (all??) servers bind to a socket on port 6667, there is no point in
changing the value of IRCPORT.

I wonder if you could you irc script as an interface for something like telnet

I'm running at about 18,000 hours/month at poe. I prefer to express it
as an average of 25 users on all the time. I peak out at about 50-55
users most days when school is in session. Our rule of thumb used to
be that an average of 3 users all the time was needed to make actual
traffic beat out the overhead, but the number now is more like 8 or
10, which is around 6,000 hours/month.

Of course, Avalon could simply add totals of "useful traffic" verses
"overhead" to the stats that the server collects. Then we could simply
look at the ratio. If it's less than 1, then you'd be better off
having your users client to a bigger server.
