Being new (but a quick study) at Full Internet Access, I can understand the
confusion at how one gets onto a specific channel in IRC.  My software
(Netcom) is all point & Click, so I just move my mouse around and click it
to the IRC Icon and it prompts me for a channel.  I chose #GCFA because it
is short.  I also chose a secondary channel #FERRET to point the way to the
channe, in case folks forgot the initials.  I'm not familiar with other IRC
software so I can't tell you how to access it from them .  I'm told it's not
directly accessible from CI$, Delphi, AOL or any other partial internet
provider.  I may find a way to link it with a www page, but I can't promise
anything.  For now, those who CAN access it, we're on Thursday and Sunday
nights from 8pm til ???  (Central Time).
