Who:

Anyone ever connected with an American High School in the UK. (Meet the regulars)

Every Thursday 1930 hours US Central time (in other words, after "Friends" my time) (Despite earlier reports the chat time will remain on Thursdays this fall.)

Where:

Easy

This application requires Java suport.
This server also available via IRC at:
irc://%hostname%:%port%/

Advanced

Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Server: host11.phoenixdata.com Port:6667, channel: #military-brats

This is the same server as the Brat Chat page uses, so you wont miss anyone whichever way you choose to connect.
This server is not in the default list that comes with mIRC or pIRCh you will have to add it. These instructions are for pIRCh only.

What do I need to participate?

An internet capable account (if you can read this, you probably have that)
A Java capable browser or an IRC client program.

Web TV instructions

AOL usually works. Try these hints if it doesn't

What else?

A real IRC program has better capabilities than the brat chat page, including the ability to send files. (The brat chat page is actually a simple IRC program written in Java). Use these links to read about IRC and download an IRC program. If you have Windows 95, get the 32 bit version. Get the 16 bit version for Windows 3.x.

What do I do with these files I just downloaded?

Usually just run them. If you happen to get zipped files (somefile.zip) You need to unzip them. You can get unzip programs at:

What about CU-SeeMe?

If anyone has a cam or just wants to see live video of me, I also have CU-SeeMe. Get your free copy of CU-SeeMe from Cornell and I'll be happy to connect to you. You do not need a camera to see people on CU-SeeMe.
