Subject: Need help using IRSSI to contact opponents

Hello:

I would like to use IRSSI to get on to the MAXR forum so that I can arrange a battle with online opponents. (I recently lost my regular real-life opponent).

My MIRC evaluation period has expired, and I'd like to find a free package to use, since my only need for IRC is to contact MAXR players, so twenty bucks seems a lot to pay!

Anyway, I use Windows, so I believe I need to use Cygwin. I have downloaded it, and installed it, and it seems to be running. But I don't know what to do next. If anyone can offer a suggestion, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Maliceberg,

I'm using Trillian for the IRC Chat. https://www.trillian.im/download/
It has a free version and runs natively under windows.

You could also use our web chat: https://www.maxr.org/docs.php?id=54

Thanks very much for the advice, Eiko.

I am using the web chat now, so that will probably work for me from here on out.

Now all I have to do is find an opponent!
