Problem #1: santafe is on a faster machine but is on a muuuuuuch slower
link.
Problem #2: Alot of people can compile their own clients and not need to
use a telnet client at all. Clients are about 300k, and even less if
stripped. Here's some information on how to ftp them:
UNIX client-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients
plod.cbme.unsw.edu.au
nic.funet.fi pub/unix/irc
ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de pub/net/irc
slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com
there is also a client avaliable with the server code.
EMACS elisp-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/elisp
nic.funet.fi
ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com
EMACS elisp "irchat"-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/elisp
lehtori.cc.tut.fi:/pub/irchat
nic.funet.fi:/pub/irchat
VMS -> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/vms
coombs.anu.edu.au
REXX client for VM-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/rxirc
ftp.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de pub/irc/rxirc
MSDOS-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/msdos
freebie.engin.umich.edu:/pub/irc/clients/MSDOS
Macintosh-> cs.bu.edu /irc/clients/macintosh
sumex-aim.stanford.edu /info-mac/comm
It's usually best to try and connect to one geographically
close, even though that may not be the best. You can always ask when you
get on irc. Here's a list of servers avaliable for connection:
csd.bu.edu
ucsu.colorado.edu
badger.ugcs.caltech.edu
ug.cs.dal.ca
nic.funet.fi
vesuv.unisg.ch
coombs.anu.edu.au
sunsystem2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
This is, by no means, a comprehensive list, but merely a start.
If you need more help, feel free to send me email.
