Chat With Us!

Chatting on synIRC with our users is easy! You can either use the web chat interface or an IRC program (also called a client) that you install on your local machine. IRC clients require more configuration work to connect to synIRC but provide more features and may offer better performance as well.

For IRC client users, we make several addresses available to minimize latency. These are:

• irc.synirc.net -- Contains all servers accepting client connections.
• irc.eu.synirc.net -- Contains only European servers accepting connections.
• irc.us.synirc.net -- Contains only United States servers accepting connections.
• irc6.synirc.net -- Contains only IPv6-capable servers accepting connections.

Some popular IRC clients are listed below:

• Windows
  • mIRC
  • Trillian
  • XChat for Windows
• Macintosh
  • Colloquy
  • Snak
  • XChat Aqua
• *nix/BSD/Linux
  • BitchX
  • irssi
  • Konversation
  • XChat
• Multiplatform
  • ChatZilla
  • Pidgin
• Web

If you have trouble setting up any of these clients, please look at the documentation for the program or use the web-based chat interface to ask for assistance in #help.
