Here is a copy of http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?InternetRelayChat. I would like to see more recommendations on that page. All I know that the users on #emacs @opn use ERC or a client not based on Emacs. Alex. [Home]InternetRelayChat SiteMap | RecentChanges | Preferences ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are various IRC channels dedicated to Emacs around. Here is a list of the known ones: * #emacs @ [irc.openprojects.net] (see EmacsChannel) * #mygnus @ irc.my.gnus.org Clients There are also Emacs based IRC clients: * EmacsIRCClient aka ERC. * IrChat * LieceIrcClient * ZenIRC Emacs IRC Client Recommendations I use ERC. -- AlexSchroeder I use ERC (EmacsIRCClient) too: Some comments about clients I tried: If you are looking for a client which does it "the Emacs way", ZenIRC and ERC are definitely for you. ERC has some extra features over ZenIRC like colour display as well as the possibility to display a separate info buffer for every channel. Have a look at both and compare them yourself. Liece (LieceIrcClient) and IrChat both take a somewhat different approach. You get an input buffer for commands and a separate buffer where the channel/query content go into. Some people like that. IrChat is kind of freaky because it supports different cryptographic algorithms as well as DCC implemented through an external perl script. For EmacSpeak users, there are speech enabling extension for EmacsIRCClient and ZenIRC. I have also written erc-speak.el which allows you to listen to channel content using EmacSpeak. You can grab erc-speak.el from the EmacsIRCClient CVS. -- MarioLang me too! I use ERC!! --ShaeErisson I love ERC.
