There are several irc clients written for Plan 9 (even I did one back in 2000) but their usability is at best questionable. Try googling for 9irc. Another one is called 'ircc' but I haven't had a chance to look at it. 'sirc' is a unix irc client written in Perl, it works fine in Plan 9 after slight modifications. Email me privately if you want it (or if anyone else wants it). Ideally we'd have an ircfs and an Irc module for acme. Nobody willing to write it, though :) andrey ps: the irc port to connect to is 6667, then you'd '/join #plan9'
