Quick Summary Page
Skip Ahead to Detailed Instructions for IRC & Chatrooms
SFF Net's chat system is IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
IRC
Download an IRC client for your system. In your IRC client's setup, use irc.sff.net as the server name, and 6667 or 7777 as
the server port. AOL currently blocks access to port 6667 of machines outside of AOL, so you have to use port 7777 instead.
