* Note: All web clients listed below will open in a new pop-up window to allow you to chat and continue to browse the web at the same time.

Listed in order of ease of use:

• Click this sentence to open the Mibbit Web IRC client. - This client requires no software on the user end except a browser.
• Click this sentence to open the CGIIRC Web IRC client. - This client requires no software on the user end except a browser.
• Click this sentence to open the pJIRC Java IRC client. - This web based client requires you to have Java Runtimes installed on your local machine. They can be found here.

* Note: Sometimes the initial connection with the Java client fail. If so, just leave the client open and hit the Connect button again.
