EFNet server list for 04-15-96

Servers that averaged less than 5 users or were up less than 25% of
this period are not listed, as they are either extremely unreliable,
brand new or probably not for general use.

Keep in mind that not all servers will allow users from all sites,
especially from distant sites.  Also note that most servers restrict
or totally ban bots, so be sure to do `/motd <server>' and see if they
do if you wish to place a bot there.  If in doubt, don't assume or
guess - ask.  The email address of the admin of a server is available
by typing `/admin <server>' in most cases.

Try to choose a server that is close to you.  As a rule of thumb,
servers that are close geographically are also close network-wise
(which is what matters) but this rule of thumb is not always true.  If
in doubt, email the admin of a nearby server, or ask on channel
#irchelp.

IP addresses are given for those using old IRC clients or who don't
have working name servers.  It's best to use the server's full name as
opposed to it's IP address, as the latter can change without warning.
All servers should have resolvable hostnames ... but apparantly some
do not.  The admins of these servers should update their DNS tables,
as this makes these servers difficult to access.

A `*' directly after an IP address refers to an address that was found
by adding `irc.' to the beginning of the server's name, and also
indicates broken DNS that should be fixed.

Almost all (all?) servers listen on port 6667.  Many listen to
additional ports as well ... if there's a question, ask the server
admin.

You cannot just try to `login' to these machines - it won't work.  You
need to have an IRC client to connect to these IRC servers.  Clients
for most platforms can be found at ftp://cs-pub.bu.edu/irc/clients.
For more information, look for the IRC FAQ posted twice monthly to
these newsgroups.

This list will (if all goes well) be posted to alt.irc and
alt.irc.questions twice a month.  I'm still working on the program I
use to generate it, so it may change in format somewhat in the future.

Direct questions or comments to me at dougmc@comco.com.
