Toast and Jam has an IRC channel

IRC (Internet relay chat), is an Internet based "chat" protocol that pre-dates AOL im and M$N messenger etc, requires no ad-based software, and is free for anyone to use. For more information about the history of IRC, the culture, and some basic usage information check out the IRC page on wikipedia. This page gives a list of client software runs on various operating systems. Alex suggests irssi for linux, mac os X, or windows (with cygwin). For windows many people like to use mIRC. There are plenty of other options.. the clients section of the wikipedia IRC entry can give more information.

Feel free to join up and chat with us, the information for our channel is below. As indicated connections are SSL only so make sure that your client software supports SSL and that you have the correct SSL libraries. I don't think mIRC comes with SSL built in, but if you download an additional component (openssl i think) you can use mIRC to connect to our server.

If you are using irssi you would connect like so:

• start irssi from the console
• type "/connect -SSL irc.silverninja.net 8181" (press enter)
• once you have connected to the server (it'll take a little bit of time) type "/join #tandj" (press enter)
• you should now be joined up to the tandj irc channel

Here is a method for windoze using MIRC:

1. Install Mirc.
2. download this:
   http://www.bovine.net/~jlawson/coding/stuntour/stuntour.zip
3. unzip it into your mirc program directory
4. double click stunrun.exe (this will launch mirc SSL enabled)
5. type the following 3 commands:
   1. /dll stuntour.dll hook_ports 8181
   2. /server neisis.net:8181
   3. /j tandj

that's it! there are otherways of doing this with mirc..but all of them much more complicated.
