mIRC Help
The following instructions can help you configure mIRC for use on the ADC Chat Server. Before you begin, make sure you have already installed mIRC onto your computer. These instructions were written for people using Windows 98 and the 32-bit version of mIRC. However, people using Windows 95, Windows 3.1 and/or the 16-bit version of mIRC can still use them. For more information about mIRC, visit their web site at www.mirc.com.
