Hi,
I've been on abjects for few years now.
After few months of absence, I tried to reconnect, but :
"Unknown host."
Am I the only one ?
Thanks.

Do you mean this network https://abjects.net/ ? Check you configured
the hostname irc.abjects.net, it works for me.

Also try connecting to an other network, to check your ISP does not
block IRC.

Same message.
What is curious is that the ping doesn't give any reply.

Alright. It was a DNS issue. When I use the IP address instead of
irc.abjects.net, it works.
Thanks all for your help !
