 ap> For those that don't know, I started an IRC server in order to host a

I also heard about freenode and ... it sucks that we lost a large fish, but it seems that the 'developer' was getting pretty shady.

Thanks for developing MORE BBS wizardry, APAM. This is awesome - altho I support MRC, I'll throw dIRC up and test/try it with you. 

 ap> Anyway, I know there is a really good IRC door for windows (MannIRC i
 ap> think it's called) and some BBSes have it built in (Synchronet, does
 ap> mystic?) anyway, for the rest of us I'm not sure of many choices.

So I don't know if theres a Mystic-specific iRC solution, but I've seen some Mystic sysOps run iRC in a neat and good-looking way. I don't know exactly what software they were using; heck, it might have even just been IRSSI or similar. Slackers BBS @ slackers.ddns.net:2323 has it all setup, and I even think Gngrdr3dman has a package available for DL. 

 ap> It's very basic at present, and very rough. It allows the user to chat in
 ap> a predefined (by the sysop) channel. It supports SSL irc servers as well
 ap> as plain IRC. users can change nicks, send private messages or chat in
 ap> the channel.

 ap> Anyway, the repo is here: https://gitlab.com/apamment/dirc
 ap> My irc server is irc.happylandbbs.com:6697 (supporting SSL only)
 ap> #talisman is where I'm hanging out :) but it should work with any IRC
 ap> server. (and of course the server works with any irc client)

Very cool, APAM. I'll go head over to yer Git and try to get that installed.
