If anyone is interested in a non-IRC discussion system, there's something I use called lily. Its main feature for this sort of thing is that it does server-side logging of discussions and allows you to detach and "review" what you've missed.
If anyone is interested, the URL to sign up is http://rpi.lily.org:7780/new/. The system can be accessed by telnetting to rpi.lily.org, port 7777, or by telnetting acm.rpi.edu (for a slightly better client). A fancier client than either of these (and written in perl) is available at http://www.tlily.org/tigerlily/. There's already a discussion on there called "parrot" which you can join, if you want. I'm on there as "Josh" if you have any questions. --Josh At 21:44 on 12/03/2001 EST, "Bryan C.
