== Description ==

he 'Internet Relay Chat' Server.  Irc is a functional replacement for and improvement to talk(1).  Talk  is an old, primitive, atrocious, minimalist sort of keyboard/screen  conversation tool, using a grotesque, machine-dependent protocol.  Irc does everything talk does, but with a better protocol, allowing  more than 2 users to talk at once, with access across the aggregate  Internet, and providing a whole raft of other useful features.
