Sorry to hear you are stuck with Windows 'cause of "the man". Haven't used it for a rather long time now, so I dunno if these still even exist, but mIRC I think was the last I used (before that Pirch rings a bell).

There are great Web-based interfaces if you are maintaining a server somewhere - my favorite there is the node implementation called "The Lounge". https://thelounge.chat/docs Nice thing is it'll stay connected for you so you won't miss messages.

Richard, I'm also using hexchat on debian and it works great. I think it's what "xchat" turned into. Later, Tim. On Sun, Mar 22, 2020 at 12:33 PM Richard Klein via WLUG wrote:

Do you guys have a favorite IRC client for Windows?

I would certainly recommend organizing in IRC, but for more interaction, Jitsi is worth a shot.

Zoom does work very well on Gnu/Linux, but yes - proprietary, so, personally not interested in using them more than I already am coerced to :P

Jitsi usually handles rooms with up to about a dozen people pretty well, but often struggles beyond that. Most issues are resolved with a simple reload of the page.

Try it out @ either of these instances, no registration require:

https://meet.jit.si/ (typically pretty bleeding-edge, so sometimes less stable)

or:

https://meet.mayfirst.org/ (pretty up to date, but generally more stable of late)

Tim, you may be able to recover your ident info with the following, once you've connected with #Freenode. If the name is registered with NickServ, it'll email you at the registered address:

/msg NickServ SENDPASS turbox
