Subject: GZG online chat

I'm planning on hosting another chat tonight 7/23 at 9pm CST
or 3am GMT for those of you who are worldly. This will be a reoccurring weekly
chat for any of those who wish to attend. It is mainly targeted for those in
the US, but all other are free to attend... but no complaints for the lack of
sleep please! =)

Starting this Saturday morning 7/25, I'll be hosting a chat for
those of you who due to time zone issues, can't make the
Thursday chats.  It will take place at 10am CST / 4pm GMT.
This chat will be scheduled for every second Saturday.

These chats take place over IRC, due to the seven client limit of ICQ.

Server Address: vchatsrv.microsoft.com / irc.msn.com
Port Number: 6667 Room Name: #GZG
Password: NONE, we had a few walk-ins last time.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Microsoft seems to be fiddling with their server names again..

vchat1.microsoft.com and msn.irc.com are working, but not the
vchatsrv.microsoft.com link. Please make a note of it.

Thanks Stuart. And I'd just like to add my testimonial that our short chat
(You, me and Mark S) on Thursday night was a lot of fun. Looking forward to
seeing some other list regulars in attendance. And later in August or Early
September, I'll be in on the Saturday ones too.

Tom.

I had this problem for a while. What errors are you getting? Have you got the
port set right? 6667?

> so I am offering to host one on the undernet

I'm working on getting there, but I've had bad luck with your servers yet.
I'll get there though...
