Connecting to #crossdress

Ok - So you want to get online and start chatting with some of the girls! Excellent!

The First Step

The Two (2) things you will need are chat software, technically called an IRC Client by my Geek Babe Friends and a current list of UnderNet's Servers.

One place to pick up an IRC Client is at http://www.tucows.com

If you are using MS-Windows you may care to start with MS-Chat. Instructions on how to use it and such are here.
This page now has a proper link to MS-Chat version 2.5

- O R -

You may care to use one of the direct links to providers of IRC chat software and further information for WebTV users listed below.

This site provides links to a list of IRC Chat Clients available for various systems, as well as how to get on to IRC using WebTV.

AmIRC - Amiga

PalmPilot/PalmIII

PalmIRC is a reasonable chat client. ChrissyS uses it so it must be good.

Most IRC Client's come packaged with proper server lists. However, if the Undernet server list is out of date (and in my package it was) you may care to update it from the information below. This data is also available at http://www.undernet.org.

The Second Step

Once you are connected to the undernet type /join #crossdress and in warm friendly letters type Hello


Just a final word of advice: If the server you are connecting to refuses your connection. Please don't take it personally as it probably just means that the server has reached its capacity. Just to ahead and try connecting to another server.

The Command to connect to another server is "/server." By way of example, to try to connect to ann-arbor.mi.us.undernet.org one can type the line:

/Server ann-arbor.mi.us.undernet.org
