- About The Internet Phone and IRC
- --------------------------------
-
- The Internet Phone uses the IRC to show the currently on-line users.
- The actual talk is done directly between the PC's running the Internet
- Phone, and NOT via the IRC.
-
-
-
- Selecting an IRC server
- -----------------------
-
- In order to use the Internet Phone, you must be connected to an IRC
- server. It is best to select the one nearest to you, in order to get
- the best connection.
-
- Once you're connected to the IRC, you can call any other Internet Phone
- user that is connected to the IRC network. There is no need for both
- of you to use the same IRC server.
-
- Please note that by "nearest" we mean over the net, but usually
- geographically close places have a better network connection.
-
- The first time you connect, you can select a server from the Publicly
- Accessible Servers. It might not be the closest to you, but it will
- enable you to start talking.
-
- Later you can try and find a server better suited for you. Note that
- many servers accept connections from specific areas. Some are limited
- to a country, some to a specific campus.
