It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication + in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one + communication. + + Rcirc has simple defaults and clear and consistent behaviour. Message + arrival timestamps, activity notification on the modeline, message + filling, nick completion, and keepalive pings are all enabled by + default, but can easily be adjusted or turned off. Each discussion + takes place in its own buffer and there is a single server buffer per + connection. + + To start an IRC session, type M-x irc, and follow the prompts for + server, port, nick and initial channels. + --- ** Newsticker is now part of the Emacs distribution.
