An mIRC script could be used to create what he's talking about (with multiple people connecting to either 1 server or a multiple server arrangement could be created). With the either the multiple or single server method, each person connecting to the LAN room would just add the server(s) to a list, and away you go. Stick an "on start" in there to get the script going when mIRC starts.. And away you go.. It'd be a fairly simple script for just chatting and no channels (unless more work was put into it to create a dynamic channel structure system).
If I ever get around to creating it, would anyone want the script? (I want to create it so that the people in my channel can connect to the server in the event of a server split or if there's major server lag and multiple people are trying to speak to each other. Having 20 separate dcc windows is just not an option.)
If anybody knows of a script like this already, clue me in plz.
Does anyone know of a good, freeware IRC server though? I've been looking around, and I found a couple.. but they aren't compiled, and alas, I have no compiler that I know how to use.. I tried figuring out how to compile it with the Borland C/C++ dos compiler, but I was doing something wrong, and I have no idea what exactly..
