I've read through the archives, my associate Casey O'Neill has sent you =
emails pertaining to the Dreamcast IRC Network. A few things I'd like to =
start out with though:

- Just as Casey O'Neill, I am not here in any sort of official capacity. =
I am the IRC Technical Administrator for the Dreamcast network =
(basically, I keep things up and running for the little kiddies)

- I've always had a fascination with UNIX, and I am trying to get a =
second machine for my desk to be a FreeBSD machine... for a portion of =
my responsibilities, it would just make life so much easier.


If possible (even though unlikely), I'd like to get my hands on a copy =
of the latest version so I can check it out for myself, and assist in =
the testing and development process.

Also, in regards to the IRC network, the current PlanetWeb browser has =
an incredibly low-quality IRC client, and IRC is a very big attraction =
to the Dreamcast and its online potential. Is there any future plans to =
incorporate an IRC client (ircII, Epic, or any X clients if it will run =
X), and if so, what will it be?

Thoughts on these matters would be greatly appreciated.
