  • IRQ/InterBBS Messaging?

    From Xofraq@MICROBUR to All on Thursday, October 10, 2024 19:35:37
    So, can someone explain IRC/InterBBS messaging to me? Never got into IRC and not finding any wiki articles, but might not be lokking in the right place.

    they are separate. the best way to figure them out is to try them out for yourself.

    IRC (Internet Relay Chat) wasn't originally a "BBS thing" at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC

    InterBBS instant messaging is for just sending single telegram-type messages between users of (Synchronet) BBSes.

    Well to start - those are two very different animals.
