What's the irc client on the shell.xmission.com server? I'm an old ircii
user and discovered it's not installed, what's the alternative?

Thanks!

Looks like irssi is installed. man -k irc is a good way to start with
questions like this.

Thanks! Never used, seen, nor heard of irssi. I'll give it a try.

Saw it in 'apropos' but 'modular' sounded like it was part of something else.

Lots of good plugins and scripts out there for irssi. I recommend this
for a start:
