Hi, folks. I'm sending this message to various individuals and groups who I think may care, or at least be slightly interested... The first bit of info is an irc server: if you dont' no what irc is, find out because explaining it here isn't really viable. All I'll say is its at irc.andreLouis.dns2go.com The second thing is ventrilo. Ventrilo is a server on one end and a client that you use that lets you voice and text chat: The server has several channels which allow you to voice chat, and some where you can listen to things (such as music), etc. Download the client from http://www.ventrilo.com The server I hang out on uses andreLouis.dns2go.com as the address: to get there: open the program. go to the settings to configure it all. Then when your back at the main screen go to the grator than button that's next to the list of servers to connect to. Click new and enter the information: you have the address, andreLouis.dns2go.com leave the port as it is. Then close that box, select the server from the list and tab to connect. Voirla! I hope you find this information to be of use Regards, Sean Randall. tagline: Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. - Albert Einstein
