Hi,

It has a rather obvious name, ircd. Ships with every
self-respecting Linux distribution.

See above. 'man ircd' may help.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say here, and
will not run the risk of being accused of jumping to a conclusion. :)
=> This in other words would be amounting to ask some linux guru to take over
Why don't you give it a shot ? Especially since you seem to be
pretty enthusiastic about IRC in general and #ilugc (or whatever) in
particular ? If you run into trouble you can always ask for help on
the list. I'm sure Asokan will have some variant of ircd on his box,
and given that it's unlikely to be a high volume channel, there
shouldn't be problems. Asokan ?
Somehow the idea of running the ilugc channel on a Windows box
seems a mite blasphemous ...
=> be online 24/24 ... or similar...I get replies / postings from

Maybe so, but I can only echo Prabhu's sentiments here. I don't
use IRC, and as such am unlikely to be of much help. Given the scarce
and expensive nature of Net access, you must forgive one for thinking
IRC to be a bit of waste. Still, to every man his own.
