15 EFNet server list for 04-15-96
17 Servers that averaged less than 5 users or were up less than 25% of
18 this period are not listed, as they are either extremely unreliable,
19 brand new or probably not for general use.
21 Keep in mind that not all servers will allow users from all sites,
22 especially from distant sites. Also note that most servers restrict
23 or totally ban bots, so be sure to do `/motd <server>' and see if they
24 do if you wish to place a bot there. If in doubt, don't assume or
25 guess - ask. The email address of the admin of a server is available
26 by typing `/admin <server>' in most cases.
28 Try to choose a server that is close to you. As a rule of thumb,
29 servers that are close geographically are also close network-wise
30 (which is what matters) but this rule of thumb is not always true. If
31 in doubt, email the admin of a nearby server, or ask on channel
34 IP addresses are given for those using old IRC clients or who don't
35 have working name servers. It's best to use the server's full name as
36 opposed to it's IP address, as the latter can change without warning.
37 All servers should have resolvable hostnames ... but apparantly some
38 do not. The admins of these servers should update their DNS tables,
39 as this makes these servers difficult to access.
41 A `*' directly after an IP address refers to an address that was found
42 by adding `irc.' to the beginning of the server's name, and also
43 indicates broken DNS that should be fixed.
45 Almost all (all?) servers listen on port 6667. Many listen to
46 additional ports as well ... if there's a question, ask the server
49 You cannot just try to `login' to these machines - it won't work. You
50 need to have an IRC client to connect to these IRC servers. Clients
51 for most platforms can be found at ftp://cs-pub.bu.edu/irc/clients.
52 For more information, look for the IRC FAQ posted twice monthly to
55 This list will (if all goes well) be posted to alt.irc and
56 alt.irc.questions twice a month. I'm still working on the program I
57 use to generate it, so it may change in format somewhat in the future.
