Newsgroups: alt.irc.undernet,alt.irc,alt.irc.questions Subject: Undernet IRC server list: 12-31-97 (unofficial) Summary: an up-to-date list of IRC servers on Undernet. Followup-To: Distribution: Organization: Doug's house of Disco Keywords: irc servers Undernet Unofficial Undernet server list, generated Fri Jan 2 16:29:02 CST 1998 Servers that averaged less than 5 users or were up less than 25% of this period are not listed, as they are either extremely unreliable, brand new or probably not for general use. Keep in mind that not all servers will allow users from all sites, especially from distant sites. Also note that most servers restrict or totally ban bots, so be sure to do `/motd ' and see if they do if you wish to place a bot there. If in doubt, don't assume or guess - ask. The email address of the admin of a server is available by typing `/admin ' and/or `/motd ' in most cases. Try to choose a server that is close to you. As a rule of thumb, servers that are close geographically are also close network-wise (which is what matters) but this rule of thumb is not always true. If in doubt, email the admin of a nearby server, or ask on channel #irchelp. If you are unable to use a specific server that you feel you ought to be able to use, get onto IRC from another server, then type `/admin ' and then email the admin of that server and ask for access. They may (or may not) be able to accommodate you. IP addresses are given for those using old IRC clients or who don't have working name servers. It's best to use the server's full name as opposed to it's IP address, as the latter can change without warning. All (as far as I know) servers listen on port 6667. Many listen to additional ports as well ... if there's a question, ask the server admin. Other common ports used include 6666, 6665 - basically, anything between 6660 and 6669. Often, using ports other than 6667 will allow one to connect faster and more reliably to the server. You cannot just try to telnet to and login to these machines - IT WILL NOT WORK. You need to have an IRC client to connect to these IRC servers. Clients for most platforms can be found at ftp://cs-pub.bu.edu/irc/clients and ftp://ftp.undernet.org. For more information, look for the IRC FAQ posted twice monthly to these newsgroups. This list will (if all goes well) be posted to alt.irc, alt.irc.undernet and alt.irc.questions twice a month. I'm still working on the program I use to generate it, so it may change in format somewhat in the future. Direct questions or comments to me at dougmc@frenzy.com.
