Hi

What do you guys use as a client for IRC? Personally, I use IceChat atm, but I want to know what others use.

Thanks

As IRC noob (getting ZNC setup for the first time), what are advantages of irssi (with irssi-client if I understand it correct) over ZNC or shroudBNC?

Satellite

IMO there's no reason to not run ZNC if you have a shell, you can use irssi with it if that's your preference.

djvdorp

It seemed to me like irssi could function as a bouncer too if you run it with screen. But I like my gui more I think on my mac

Nettalk.

EDIT: On Linux, through WINE.

When i used to use IRC (years ago) i was using mostly ircII. BitchX was also popular, but my personal preference was ircII with my own scripts on top of it.

Don't you ever have the SSH timeout thingie?

Is it possible to connect with other clients to IRSSI (when it runs as a kinda server) or is it only used as client+bouncer?

Dozn

irssi, totally dig it =b

irssi-proxy

And then you can connect to it with your regular client? But will multiple networks be separated then, or merged just as in IRSSI itself? (that is what I want, merged on one connection in my client)

Not a bouncer. Not 12/mo. Maybe cute.
