IrCQ-Net

There are 2 ways to connect to the IrCQ-Net:
The first one is quite simple:

1. Go to http://www.icq.com/icqchat/ (This will take you to the IrCQ-Net main page.)
2. Pick a topic from the list of rooms. You can enter rooms by language, country, topic of interest, or join one of our most popular rooms. Clicking any of these links will open a window with the room that deals with your chosen subject.
3. When asked, pick yourself a nickname, and then press ok.
   If you don't choose a nickname, you will get a default "Guest" nickname and other chatters won't be able to recognize you.
4. You now will be connected to the IrCQ-Net.

The second one is for more advanced users:

1. First, you need to get any IRC client available and install it.
2. Try to connect our server by typing the command ?/server irc.icq.com 6666?
3. You now will be connected to the IrCQ-Net.

That's it. You can start chatting! For more details, click here.
