  • IRQ/InterBBS Messaging?

    From Xofraq@VERT/MICROBUR to All on Thu Oct 10 19:35:37 2024
    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.

    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.
