from this thread here in administrivia whats up with chat

If you want to use an IRC client (a separate program to access the IRC networks), I recommend mIRC (www.mirc.com) but that's mostly because I've used it for 10+ years and I love it. There's a bunch of others, xchat is one (google it)

When you've set up an irc client, you need to log on to Shadowfire (which is the network #bus is on). Choose Shadowfire from the drop down menu or type /server irc.shadowfire.org

Once you're on the server, type /join #bus si (where #bus is the channel name and "si" is the password, or the key)

If you have any problems, please let me know and I will try to help!

Or try another way of connecting (buschat.info or www.mibbit.com or www.shadowfire.org or www.ircatwork.com or a chat client) It might not help but it's worth a shot. Sometimes one of the sites/client is causing the problem. Mia
hope that helps and you can read more about the BUS chat and IRC at the link i gave up :wink:
