The network has been put up so eCS/OS/2 users can have a chat. Maybe drop a question if they can't solve a problem. Or developers who want to talk about a problem and want to try and get a fast answer.....
In the last couple of months there has been worked hard on the eComStation IRC network. There are currently 14 IRC servers in the network active. The network will continue to be expanded.

You can get an IRC client from hobbes http://www.gt-online.com/~bri/irc_clients.html
If you don't want to dive into an IRC client goto www.ecomstation.com and click on "support/FAQ for eCS". Choose for "Live eCS Chat" and click on "open chat window". Choose your nickname and connect.
Click here for the direct url.
Please note if your browser crashes it could be that you are running a wrong version of Java (1.1.8 or 1.3 should work) or something is wrong with the configuration. The Java applet has been succesfully tested with Netscape 4.61 for OS/2, Opera for OS/2, Warpzilla for OS/2 and the IBM Browser for OS/2.
If you don't have an OS/2 box handy and you want to connect, it also has been tested with Netscape 6.2 and Internet Explorer 5.5 under Windows 2000.
You can however via the webinterface only connect to the default eCS channel. If you want to reach other channels on the network, download an IRC client and connect to one of the servers directly.
For the OS/2 advocates who would like to know. All servers in the network so far are OS/2 /eCS machines. Possibly some Linux boxes
will join in the future....
But our intention is to keep it mainly running on OS/2 of course...
Enjoy
