This page needs to be expanded. Need update on server, channel and client info

The Cantr Chat Channel is an Internet-Relay-Chat (IRC) Channel. A Java applet from the Cantr site is available here.

Alternatively, there are many IRC clients available for download or at work which offer more functionality / accessibility - both free and commercial (see below)

For those new to IRC, check out the Introduction to IRC

Connection Details

The set-up details for each client do differ, but they will all need you to input the following information:

• Server: irc.tobug.net
• Port: 6667
• Channel: #cantr

Clicking here may also work if your client is set up with your browser.

You will also need to set your firewall to allow the client to connect. If you can't get connected, please contact the Communications Department

IRC clients

There are both commercial clients (such as the popular mIRC) and open-source / freeware clients.

Some suggested free/open-source clients

• Opera Free web browser with in-built IRC client
• ChatZilla(built into Mozilla and available as an extension for Firefox)
• XChat free for Unix, shareware for Windows
• Pidgin Free software for IRC as well as yahoo, AiM, MSN etc (Previously known as Gaim)

See the Wikipedia article on IRC clients for more information.

For work / school / college access, try:

• [1]
• [2]

Introduction to IRC

For those not used to IRC irchelp.org is useful. Just remember to type:
/nick
then a space follwed by your desired nickname when you log on.
