GTIRC (GammaTech Internet Relay Chat) is a multi-user, multi-channel chatting system. This software allows you to sit in front of your computer and "chat" through typed messages with either one person or many other people from all over the Internet, in real time! It's like old school texting.
IRC is based on a client-server model. You run a client program on your own computer which connects you to a server computer on the Internet. These servers link to many other servers to make up an IRC network, which transport messages from one user (client) to another. In this manner, people from all over the world can talk to each other live and simultaneously.
