How do you use IRC?

I have no clue whatsoever how to use IRC:confussed:

------------------

You need to buy the irc client hud upgrade, then you click it's button down on the bottom of the screen (smiley)

To connect to ambrosia's server: irc.ambrosia.net port 6667
enter a user name and /join #uplink or something.

If you need even more help, at the top of this page is a thing that says: For real time chat... click on the words IRC to get linked to a page explaining IRC. It's pretty complicated though. If you are using IRC in Uplink, follow persondude's instructions. If you want to use a client outside of the game, I suggest (url="http://"http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/2258")JediKnight(/url). It has a full Aqua interface, you don't need to know any special commands, and it has a cool Star Wars theme :). It is very good, but I guess that if you don't like Star Wars, it isn't very good.

Clones are people two.
If UPS and Fed-Ex merged, would they be Fed-Up?
A man who's out to save Gidolan Keep, flies an Auroran ship, and hacks into computers to keep the bricks from falling past the line of destiny? Yep, that's me!

I use X-Chat aqua, but if you are willing to pay for a program I would suggest ircle, it has more buttons (which makes things alot easier)
