Any Recommendations for IRC?

J

John Latter

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any freeware IRC programs?

I've just started using IRC and at the moment I have:

1) Trillian

I like it 'cept I sometimes get 'flooded' (if I'm using the term
correctly) where other users text is downloaded while mine remains
unsent til there's a pause. I like the box of smilies too!

2) mIRC

Seems ok (once I changed the font) but no smilies :(

I've been told about add-on 'scripts' - can anyone recommend any for a
newbie? or any that are considered essential?

Any advice would be welcome, I've tried googling and there's lots of
stuff there but I thought someone might recall how they began with
Trillian (free) or mIRC

Chatzilla is good and easy to use. It comes as a component of the
Mozilla Suite, and it is also available as an extension for Firefox,

HydraIRC is an open source chat prog. I've just downloaded it myself but
have read good things about it. You can check their website at
