IRC clients?
« on: June 01, 2005, 02:46:54 AM »
What IRC clients are there that work on the Amiga, and what are the minimum requirements?

I have an A3000T with WB2.1 (KS 2.04), Amitcp 3.0beta2, and Etherbridge 1.2. It works fine with telnet, ftp, and other basic utilities. Amitcp came with AmyIRC, which apparently doesn't really work and never did. Grapevine seems to work with some IRC servers but not all, and as far as I can tell is now unsupported with no source code available. Is AmIRC the only "living" client program? I'm under the impression that it can't run without WB 3.0+ and MUI. Or am I wrong?

My 2.1 system has no MUI at all. If I remember correctly, that was introduced with 3.0 beta of the WB. Consequently, I haven't even tried AmIRC.

Grapevine runs well with most servers, but a couple (unfortunately the ones I use most) disconnect it immediately when I try to join a channel.

Likewise Wookie, requires 3.x of WB, which I don't really have.

Thanks, I missed chatbox somehow while searching through dozens of fixes for AmIRC on aminet. :)
