1. You need what is called an IRC client. #eseries is "channel" on a "Internet Relay Chat (IRC)" and you need a client in order to access it. The most common is Mirc (http://www.mirc.co.uk) and the latest vers is 6.15 as of today. It is about 1.3mb and will take around 10 mins or less on a dialup connection.

2. Once you download it and install it (double click or open the file you downloaded and follow the prompts) run Mirc. It will show this screen:

3. Fill in your contact details, not mine.

4. Click on the Servers tab and select the Austnet: Random AU server

5. Click on the "Connect To Server" button.

6. It will say in the corner "connecting to au.austnet.org" or something similar.

7. Upon connection a window will popup with a set of predermined channels. Close this window.

8. In the bottom of the main background screen type in "/j #eseries"

9. You should be there now - be warned of MightyEFGhia, Walkinshaw, AaronEF8, FordGirl, and EFFalcon (they live there LOL..)

If you have any problems then it will most likely be with step 6. Sometimes the servers go down and it will try and reconnect to alternate servers on the Austnet system. They will all have #eseries.

If you have any queries feel free to post away...

yeah just one... what's the actual server i have 2 log on to? i can't run mIRC on linux and my client (ksirc) doesnt have a server list

EFFalcon · 21-08-2005, 01:58 PM

au.austnet.org

CruizinEB · 21-09-2005, 06:22 PM

there is no one on the chat channel:(

Psycho Chicken · 21-09-2005, 06:30 PM

Yeah, it gets a bit quiet. Try later on.

efgiar · 24-10-2005, 06:16 PM

is austnet screwed? because it connects and goes "Welcome to blah blah" and just sits there... thats with any server, NZ, AU etc...

Damo · 25-10-2005, 02:42 AM

Ausnet isn't screwed, did you actually join the channel ?

PULLY6 · 23-11-2005, 11:13 PM

type "/j #eseries" once you're in the screen efgiar described

PULLY6 · 08-12-2005, 08:38 PM

Dare I speak out about the unjust kicking of random members due to age old grudges?

montyv8 · 08-12-2005, 08:41 PM

no, you may not. or i'll kick you.

nothing random about it.

and had nothing to do with any grudges. i dont hold grudges.

have a nice day

FordGirl · 08-12-2005, 08:43 PM

At the end of the day, the channel is completely differnet to the forums. The same rules dont apply...

montyv8 · 08-12-2005, 08:43 PM

chris wants me to add you were being annoying. annoying ppl suck, and get kicked.

again, have a nice day.

oh, and get a sense of humour.

PULLY6 · 08-12-2005, 08:47 PM

Haha ! I don't really care!

I'm laughing, really.

That's for sure, it's like everyone's on their best behaviour in here - yet their true biased, shallow and narrow minded colours appear elsewhere!

Just a reminder, the channel is called #eseries, not #galant ;)

locknut · 20-02-2006, 07:41 PM

Still, there's no need for anyone to hang sh-t on someones ride. If you love cars as much as I do, you'd know what they mean to a bloke.

It seems you guys can talk about non-ford topics, why give me a hard time when I do?

335JET · 02-06-2006, 05:38 PM

what other irc clients are there besides mirc, because mirc will not allow me to download mirc 6.17 australian version

Aaron_EF8 · 03-06-2006, 02:32 AM

If you're trying to DL it from www.mirc.co.uk there's no specific country version, the lists of different countries are just for the download location, if you choose another country it will still work, but downloading the programme will take a bit longer, but it's hardly a worry with a 2mb download.

335JET · 03-06-2006, 05:39 PM

thanks aaron ef8, got it workin now

BA Turbo · 20-07-2006, 04:40 PM

Falcon_Power_06 · 20-07-2006, 09:39 PM

blownba · 04-09-2006, 11:21 PM

Damo · 05-09-2006, 12:05 AM

kyro_02 · 07-02-2007, 11:07 PM

irc://au.austnet.org:6667/eseries (click link to auto connect)

anyone tried that ? and why is austnet.org always slow to connect !

FordGirl · 13-02-2007, 06:34 PM

Hey Guys,

Austnet has suffered from some problems, so you're probably going to have trouble connecting.

To Join The New AustNet type /server irc.austirc.org

You will have to re-register your nickname.

trick_xd · 13-02-2007, 06:51 PM

You mean people are still useing that chat room

fairmont1998 · 13-02-2007, 07:50 PM

28 of us in there last night :P

Aaron_EF8 · 16-02-2007, 12:27 AM

Thatnks to MightyXR6Turbo for closing the austnet #eseries channel, relegating #eseries to a **** network with constant dropouts. :P

The original #eseries channel on austnet is re-opened and operational, we will keep using it until we know whats happening between the 2 networks.

The new network, austIRC is having problems constantly dropping out ChanOP, so the channels are still there, but is a PITA to use at this time.

So basically, nothing has changed yet.
