 irc://DALnet -
DALnet was created by The EFnet's #startrek users as a quiet place where they could run
their channel without having to deal with takeovers and netsplits. But the people who run
DALnet stress that its not just for trekkers anymore. With about 120K users DALnet is now
one of the largest and most active IRC networks available. It is well organized and one of
the five most famous IRC networks.
irc://IRCnet - IRCnet is an IRC network that split of the
large EFnet some years ago. At first it mainly consisted of European servers but overseas servers have
joined to make a world-wide network with about 110K users.
irc://Undernet - Undernet is a good alternative to
EFnet. It provides a friendly and stable IRC network. The Undernet is growing in size very
rapidly due to the continous improvements to the servers and the information and help

everybody who likes a little fragging, or more ;-) With its huge amount of users you'll

irc://EFnet - Eris Free net was the largest IRC network for
years and years, with about 85K online users on an average day. Because of its massive

things. But it is still the most popular IRC network.
