Subject: NW/Plains Chat
Dear NW/Plains SCs,
The Regional Reps have established a chat channel on iMRC
for Wednesday evenings from 9 to 11 p.m. EDT. It's on RW,
#nwplains. \
Would you kindly pass this information to your state lists.
Many thanks.
Instructions for iMRC:
To download the program, go to:
http://www.mirc.com/
When downloaded and installed, follow the
directions below.
For mIRC:
You need to be connected to the internet. This
is simple but some over
look it.
1. When you first start the program, you get an
"about mIRC" screen---X out
of it
2. Next you get "mIRC Setup"-- enter a name (I
have Rootsweb written here),
then you write
irc.rootsweb.com in the space
marked "IRC Server", then click
"Add"
3. write 6667 in the space marked "Port(s)", if
it does not appear there
4. click OK, this will take you back to the "mIRC
Setup" screen
5. This time, on this "mIRC Setup" screen, click
"connect to IRC server"
6. That should connect you to the rootsweb irc
server.
7. You get: mIRC Channels Folder, type in
#nwplains where it asks for the
name of the channel to join (if #nwplains does
not appear on the list),
click add
8. double click the #nwplains in the list, and
you should be in the room
If you have any other questions, please contact
me. Lynn
Lynn, Ginger, and Bill
