Problem #1: santafe is on a faster machine but is on a muuuuuuch slower link. Problem #2: Alot of people can compile their own clients and not need to use a telnet client at all. Clients are about 300k, and even less if stripped. Here's some information on how to ftp them: UNIX client-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients plod.cbme.unsw.edu.au nic.funet.fi pub/unix/irc ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de pub/net/irc slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com there is also a client avaliable with the server code. EMACS elisp-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/elisp nic.funet.fi ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com EMACS elisp "irchat"-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/elisp lehtori.cc.tut.fi:/pub/irchat nic.funet.fi:/pub/irchat VMS -> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/vms coombs.anu.edu.au REXX client for VM-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/rxirc ftp.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de pub/irc/rxirc MSDOS-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/msdos freebie.engin.umich.edu:/pub/irc/clients/MSDOS Macintosh-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/macintosh sumex-aim.stanford.edu /info-mac/comm It's usually best to try and connect to one geographically close, even though that may not be the best. You can always ask when you get on irc. Here's a list of servers avaliable for connection: csd.bu.edu ucsu.colorado.edu badger.ugcs.caltech.edu ug.cs.dal.ca nic.funet.fi vesuv.unisg.ch coombs.anu.edu.au sunsystem2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de This is, by no means, a comprehensive list, but merely a start.
