As some of you may know, there is a MG Chat (and BritCar) Room on the
internet.
If you would like to join the MG or Britcar Chats, we will meet tonight at
8:00 EST, five o'clock in California. I have included the instructions in
this email to help you set the program up and to log on.
1. Download MIRC from http://www.mirc.co.uk. They have programs available
for Win95 and Win3.1(1), sorry MAC guys no Program for you. Make a new
folder called IRC in your 'C' Drive and when your browser prompts you for
the destination folder this is the folder you want it to be downloaded into
(MIRC on C drive). The downloading will take about 8 minutes with a 14.4
modem.
2. Using Win95 Explorer or Filemanager, open folder MIRC from your C
drive. In this folder there should be a IRC icon, called "mirc46t" or
"mirc46s". Now double click this icon to start the installation process
for MIRC. MIRC will ask you if you want to do 2 things, IGNORE THIS AND
JUST CLICK INSTALL. It will now install itself.
3. The program should be stored in a folder called "Mirc" in your
harddrive now click the MIRC icon to start the program.
4. You will then see the Registration Screen just ignore it and click
cancel. Then you will see the Mirc Setup window with a bunch of names and
places. Click the add button, and in Description box type Erinet and in
the IRC server box type "irc.erinet.com" with out the quotation marks.
Then click add. Now fill out the boxes on the original screen with your
personal info (realname, nickname, email, alternate).
5. Once you have completed that step, make sure the Erinet text is the
only name highlighted in the list and click the connect button. Once
connected another window will appear in that window type -- #mgs or
#britcars for your interests MGs or British Cars. Then hit the join key.
And start typing. IF someone is in the room withyou you will get a reply
back in about 15 seconds.
