> Hi folks,

> As some of you may know, irc.dal.net has been extremely sporadic over the
> last few months due to excessive DDoS attacks.

> While dal.net is having troubles, I've created a backup irc channel on a
> different irc network, newnet.net, with Rik's permission.

> You should be able to use any irc client that you prefer in order to

> mirc client for windows at http://www.hawkwind.org.uk/irc/HW-IRC.zip, or
> try http://ww.mirc.com/.
>
> Macintosh users can use http://www.ircle.com/.
>
> Unix users can use a handful of clients.  I rather like ircII myself ;-)
>
> There is also a Java client present on the http://www.newnet.net/ home

> (I also have a Mozilla javascript file that will allow you to connect to
> newnet.  If you are interested in that, please email me.)
>
> To connect:
>

>
> /server irc.newnet.net
> /join #hawkwind.org.uk
>
> and you should be in channel.  We've tended to be most active between
> 10pm-midnight UK time (4pm-6pm chicago time ;-) ), with weekends seeing
> folks dropping on channel after 7pm uk time (but feel free to stop by
> and lurk until people show up ;-) ).

> newnet.net supports many of the same features as dal.net (nickname
> registry, channel services, memo-writing, etc.)
>
> If, for some reason, you are having problems connecting with
> irc.newnet.net, try the individual servers comprising newnet, ie:

> irc.eskimo.com          US
> irc.aohell.org          US
> irc.josephbarnhart.net  US
> irc2.fdt.net            US
> irc.eviltwins.org       US
> irc.dividedspace.com    US
> irc.moo.me.uk           UK
> irc.flamez.net          US
