How to use IRC with Telnet

Ah, I hope this has not yet been posted here!

I will guide you through the required steps in order to use IRC with Telnet!

1. Connect to IrcServer using port 6660-6669 (ie I will connect to Quakenet)

Code:

telnet irc.quakenet.org 6669

2. Wait for all the server messages to appear, then type user nickname hostname servername :your name

Code:

user TheMagician localhost localhost :The Magician

** localhost is fine for both

3. At this point when you press Enter you will not see anything, so type your nickname

Code:

nick TheMagician

4. PING :randomnumbers (what the hell is this? what now?)

You have to PONG the server

Code:

PONG :exactly_same_numbers_as_in_PING_message

You are now connected to server and you should see now lots of information that server sends to you, wait for everything to finish.

So you are now connected to IRC server, you can use all the IRC commands in Telnet just like you would normally use them, except that you dont type the "/" before the command, ie let's join any channel

Code:

join #Igniteds

To send message to the channel, type

Code:

privmsg #Igniteds :Hello, this is TheMagician

But there's one tricky part in Telnet IRCing, you receive all the messages automatically, so if you're typing message and someone sends messsage on the channel, your attempt of sending the message to channel fails and instead sometimes it prints lots of crap to the channel. You just gotta be fast! Wink

And if you want to exit just type

Code:

quit

And then any key.
