I have recently got ahold of a program called irc (Internet Relay Chat)
Each machine runs its own server and the servers are link in a tree fashion
to a master server.  I've only messed with it a little, but it appears
to be a good program.  I got it through anonymous ftp to 128.214.5.6
(tolsun.oulu.fi) and have asked the author about release to the USENET.
We currently have a small network of 5 machines, 2 at OSU and 3 at DU,
with orion.cair.du.edu as the master server.  If you get this program,
you should try connecting to this network.

Hope this helps.
