IRC Clients
Windows Clients
For Windows Clients, the main link is to the 32 bit version which will work for windows95 and usually NT. There is a 16 Bit link at the bottom of each description for people who use Windows 3.11
mIRC is a good
Windows95
Based Client. Not as good as vIRC in some areas of communication, but a good client.
mIRC is very easy to use and script yet is very powerful.
* Recommended
mIRC 16-Bit version for windows 3.11
vIRC is kind of hard to configure; mainly because it has many, many options to choose from. It also has many types of communication mirc doesnt, such as audio/visual communication.
Sort of hard to figure out, Recommended
For windows 95. pIRCh is pretty good. Pretty much the same as mirc with a few little extras, but its a bit harder to configure and has a kind-of-wierd interface in my opinion
UNIX/X-Windows
IRCII
IRCII is a unix/x-windows irc client.
It's scripting language is kind of hard to learn.
Currently I do not have any links to or copies of IRCii on my site
I will have them soon, stay tuned.
BitchX
If you are looking for a modern looking updated alot IRC Client, give BitchX a try!

The most widely used Mac client, IRCle has all the features that many like. Because it's so widely used, development and support still continue for this popular client. See the homepage for many documents on it's use and functions
