[DG: User Experience] Sakai design IRC is now available for real-time chat

[Keli Sato Amann]

Hi, I have the beta version of Adium and added an IRC account with hostname irc.freenode.net. However, the status on start up is always "connecting" --it never gets to online. Was there something else I needed to do (different port #, password)?

Yes I use the latest beta of Adium (http://adium.im/beta/), since it  
can combine various accounts and protocols. IRC is not it's primary  
strengths but was good enough for me so far.

I know there is Colloquy which Eli mentioned (better) and Conversation  
(http://homepage.mac.com/philrobin/conversation/)

I haven't used Windows for a while now, but I know back in the days  
mIRC was considered good (http://www.mirc.com/)
