Features in IRCplus Version 1.5.x
Date of release: Wednesday, May 05 1999.

Unlike other IRC server/client software, IRCPlus is highly versatile while hosting and supporting many features specially tailored for your server administration, operation needs and specifications. The following list defines some the features that IRCPlus currently incorporates.

Permanent Channel/Nickname Registration.

IRCplus Supports permanent Channel and NickName registrations. You may set this up to allow the users to register their own, or allow only Administrators to control it. You have the choice of doing this either by IRC commands or by using the Remote Control.

Support for common IRCx commands and modes

IRCPlus supports common and known IRCx commands like - access, user, channel, prop modes, as well as being one-hundred percent compatible with IRC commands and modes. For more information on IRCx commands please view the IRCX Draft.

Online and remote administration

Although IRCPlus does not support Web Administration, we do however support remote administration either with the Remote Control "Provided with IRCPlus", that only your Administrators can use, or by IRC Commands. The remote will automatically switch Ports to prevent unauthenticated crackers.

IP/Hostname Masking.

For extra security you have the choice of three levels of IP/Hostname Masking. The way it works. It masks some of your IP address of the Mask Address, thus dis-allowing people to use Denial of service attacks on you.

1 - No mask on server. (not recommended)
2 - Channel hosts see IP addresses only.
3 - Full masking, only server admins have access.

Prohibited Nicknames, Channels, and Topics

IRCPlus incorporates an Anti-Profanity, Inappropriate Language Context Control that include profane nicknames, channel names and channel topics! You can add and remove them from the list under "Prohibited".

You may also chose to turn on the Teen Mode "on all channels set with +h mode" that disallows swears in that channel. This is great if you have channels where you know younger age people will be going. SmartChecker is the software that powers this, it will scan the words and know if people are trying to fool it.

Six Types of IRC Operators

Each IRC server needs different people to do different tasks. IRCPlus understands that and has supplied a whole range of Operator Levels. If you wish to know what each level includes you may view the Operator Levels page.

Fully IRC compatible

We have gone though and tested each and every chat client available on the web and come to the conclusion that, if it's IRC Compatible it will work on IRCPlus! We have tested 3rd party IRC chat clients such as: (mIRC, PIRCH, MSChat, MS V-Chat, NetscapeChat, GlobalChat, Orbit IRC, V-IRC. And many more!

Server Relaying

If your small business grows.. not a problem, IRCPlus has it's own Server Relaying technology. This means you can link to any server that running the software in a Master- Slave configuration. More information can be requested by sending e-mail to our support department.

Supports Java and Telnet

IRCplus allows Java written IRC Clients to connect to IRCplus, Telnet access is now also available. A perfect example of using Java clients with IRCplus can be found on our own LiveChat web site.
