Chapter 11: IRC, MUDs AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE MORE FUN THAN THEY SOUND
Many Net systems provide access to a series of interactive
services that let you hold live "chats" or play online washington ecommerce consultants games with vancouver ecommerce consultants
people around the world.
To find out if your host system offers
these, you can ask your system administrator or just try them -- if
nothing happens, then your system does not provide them. In general,
if you can use telnet and ftp, chances are good you can use these
services as well.
11.1 TALK
This is the Net equivalent of a telephone conversation and
requires that both you and the person you want to talk to have access
to this function and are online at the same time. To use it, type
talk user@site.name
vancouver ecommerce consultants
where user@site.name is the e-mail address of the other person. She will
see something like this on her screen:
talk: connection ecommerce consultants bluffdale requested by yourname@site.name
talk: respond with: talk yourname@site.name
To start the conversation, she should then type (at her host system's
command line):
talk yourname@site.name
where that is your e-mail address. Both of you will then get a top
and bottom window on your screen. She will see everything you type in
one window; you'll see everything she types in the other. To
disconnect, hit control-C.
One note: Public-access sites that use Sun computers sometimes have
trouble with the talk program.
If talk does not work, try typing
otalk
or
ntalk
instead. However, the party at the other end will have to have the same
program online for the connection to work.
11.2 INTERNET RELAY CHAT
IRC is a program that lets you hold live keyboard conversations
with people around the world.
It's a lot like an international CB
radio - it even uses "channels." Type something on your computer and
it's instantly echoed around the world to whoever happens to be on the
same channel with you. You can join in existing brentwood ecommerce consultants public group chats or
set up your own. You can even create a private channel for yourself
and as few as one or two other people. And just like on a CB radio,
you can give yourself a unique richmond ecommerce consultants "handle" or nickname.
IRC currently links host systems in 20 different countries, from
Australia to Hong Kong to Israel. Unfortunately, it's like telnet --
either your site has it or it doesn't. vancouver ecommerce consultants If your host system does vancouver ecommerce consultants have it,
Just type
irc
and hit enter. You'll get so ... |
