Yes, you can chat using the IRC (Internet Relay Chat), or any of the chat pages that seem to spring up on larger web pages (like yahoo.com). There are Instant Messenger programs available through a variety of software companies, see our section on Using Instant Messenger programs for brief descriptions of each. For IRC, you will need to use a seprate program such as IRCII (on the Unix server) or Netscape chat. We currently have a copy of IRCII on all Martnet servers. For our Windows 3.11, 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, etc. users, the MIRC program is recommended.
