Thanks for the info.

So I'd need a shell account and then run PsyBNC on it so I can connect to it with mIRC from my PC. Great.

I'm on the PsyBNC site now going through the documentation.

If anyone knows any site that does all the necessary setup for dummies so a user has a minimum of involvement and doesn't have to install, compile, run editors and change too many settings, etc, please let us know.

Thanks!
