1. Make sure you're using AOL 3.0 or higher. If you don't have AOL 3.0 or above, go to keyword UPGRADE.
2. You need to download and install an IRC client, the program that gives you access to the IRC interface. There are several
IRC programs out there -- you can use just about any of them. The one that is best for Windows
is called mIRC, which you can download from ftp://papa.indstate.edu/winsock-l/winirc/mirc541s.exe. Press
"download" and
make sure you get the 16-bit version, even if you use Windows 95. After you download the program, you need to install it.
You should find the file mirc541s.exe in the DOWNLOAD directory under your AOL30 directory. Find and run the
program. It will install on your computer.
3. Now, you can use mIRC. Make sure you're logged in to AOL (log back on if you logged off for the installation) then run
the mIRC program. (You should find MIRC.EXE in C:\MIRC.) You'll see a welcome screen, then the setup screen.
4. You're only a couple of steps away from chatting! To complete the setup and connect to IRC go to the
Connect Page. |
