This is a list of IRC servers, generally ordered by continent and country. A count of servers (by version) is at the end. This list was generated on 1 September 1993, and is available via anonymous ftp from h.ece.uiuc.edu as /irc/servers.930901. Just because a server is listed here does not mean you can connect to it: many servers restrict which sites are allowed to connect. Usually an IRC client is used to connect to a server. Clients can be fetched by anonymous ftp from cs.bu.edu. All servers with 'test' or 'experimental' in the name, or which do not seem to be general-use servers, are listed separately. Servers which are not regularly on the IRCnet when I run the update routine may be missing from this list. The "name" field is taken from what is visible from a /LINKS on my server. [ Note: many servers have the version in the M: line, so the version will show up on /links, I suppose. It would be convenient for creating this list if those servers did not do that. Some servers have the wrong version in the M: line. ] If you think the formatting is suboptimal, e-mail me with your solution.
