    Hey all,
    I want to setup IRC in my RG BBS but cannot find any IRC clients for it.

    Any recommendations and where to get the files needed?

    Thanks

    ... Operator, give me the number for 911

    MannIRC ... need NetFoss and its NFU to load the door32.sys door.


    IF %1 == 5 GOTO NODE5
    cd\bbs\temp%1
    copy door*.sys \bbs\door\mannirc
    cd\netfoss
    d:\netfoss\nfu d:\bbs\temp%1 "d:\bbs\door\mannirc\mannirc.exe -d\bbs\temp%1\door32.sys /n%1"
    goto end

    :node5
    cd\bbs\door\mannirc
    mannirc /l

    :end

    Thanks T.J.

    Does this mean that its only available on 1 node or can I setup for all nodes?

    the %1 is a varible for the node #. I have node 5 as my local, 1-4 as telnet in. Depending on which node this batch file is run from, it will input 1, 2, 3, or 4 for the temp dir and get the drop file for that node.

    Ah, ok. I don't run RG in local mode. I login remote as when I am home, the RG server is in the basement and I have a PC in the living room. I just telnet to it.
    Now to setup!

    Thanks for the help
