IRC basics

I guess there are 2 XChats ? I had tried one for windows and it was shareware. I think it was X-Chat rather than XChat. I may be wrong.

Hmm just saw right now, it's a shareware for windows users but not for linux users
Check this page for the reason why it's not free *www.xchat.org/windows/.
Isn't it possible to comiple from source using MinGW? Just check it up cos source for XChat is available.

The beta versions are free though.

You forgot to RTFM

You have no idea how long I've spent reading the irssi manual . I even tunneled to a friend's computer who was outside my proxy, just so that I could use IRC. It worked, but the lag was too much and I couldn't log on if he had shut down his computer, which he did quite a lot.

@Sykora see if this helps *www.dragoncat.net/lists/irssi-users/2004-04/0003.html. I don't really have much idea on proxies but I will see whatever I can find.
