So as a BBS user or Sysop, there's really no reason to load that       service then, so as a logon user you can just IRC from within the BBS.              Rick V       --- SBBSecho 3.24-Win32        * Origin: The File Cabinet BBS [filecabi.casacam.net:1025] (1:154/110)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 266/512 291/111       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 154/110 229/426           |
