8.2 Web resources
General information
http://www.undernet.org/ is the startingpoint for getting to the Undernet resources, among them http://www.user-com.undernet.org/ Its “documents project” has all kinds of documentation. The CTCP and DCC RFC, the old IRC RFC (RFC1459) an IRC FAQ (old) and guides for the operator and channelservice commands, which I havn't covered. Also Beginner-help, newsletters, e.t.c Definitely worth a visit. If you want to dig deep in ircu, visit http://www.coder-com.undernet.org/, the home of the ircu serversoftware.
http://www.user-com.undernet.org/documents/quitmsg.html A short and good FAQ about the meaning of all kinds of quitmessages.
http://www.irchelp.org/ Another source for FAQs, help, e.t.c Its advantage is presenting the IRC as a whole,
As it cover the 4 main nets in the texts, (Dalnet, Undernet, Efnet and Ircnet) you get a better sight of IRC
as a whole.
http://www.irc.org/ An interesting site both for general help and technical issues
When browsing the websites above, you'll run into outdated information now and then. If some of the guides are confusing, it might be because they were written for IRCII users. (The origianl unix client) and mix irc commands with client specific commands.
Links to some major nets may be found at http://www.mirc.co.uk/servers.html.
Setting up servers
http://www.ircdhelp.org/ Impressive site for those interested in setting up and running irc servers
http://serverwatch.internet.com/ircservers.html Reviews of irc serversoftware.
Imagine setting up your very own little net :-)
One server able to run on windows is http://www.wircds.com/. The site also contain a couple of helpfull things for the budding serveradmin like a configuration-file generator and a list of DNS services.
http://www.raptorircd.org/ is an open-source ircd based on ircu. After reading this guide, you may find their userdocumentation familiar. ;-)
Regarding encrypted traffic on IRC, UnrealIRCD at http://unreal.tspre.org/is one server which has implemented encrypted communication. Epic at http://epicssl.sourceforge.net/ is said to be the first client to support server-side SSL connections.
One server that runs on IPv6 networks is IACD at http://trash.net/~reeler/iacd/
Internet chatsystems at http://www.chatsystems.com/ has implemented a server that only accepts connections through a web-interface.
A web-based client can be found at http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/. It supports IPv6 networks and could be a workaround for restrictive firewalls.
Another web-based client can be found at http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php
