On ModLink there's a patch that patches the 1.31 .exe file and automagically changes the IRC server to the correct one. Granted you can do it yourself but, the patch helps.

The IRC client won't work with Win 9x or ME, only 2K and XP.... So if you are running Win9x or ME, it won't do anything, I'm afraid....

Why not make it work than?
Unfair to Win98+Me users...

Because anyone using those OSs (95 isn't too bad) should be hauled out to the street and shot. ;)

It was never intended as a major feature, just a novelty so Chris didn't spend much time on it. :)

All right. But be careful. You might be shot by one of them.

I won't do it, 'cause I'm using XP.

It's because of the way the client connects to the server, I believe it uses sockets which are only a feature of NT based OS's. :)
