Please read this page
and the rules before using the applet below. Thank you! (AOL
users, please read below)
Directions:
- NickName: Enter the NickName you would like to use while chatting. PLEASE keep this unique, do not enter #dsm with the default nick of "ATDSM". You will look like a dweeb if that happens too often :)
- Channel: This is already set up to go to the channel #dsm, or you can choose to go to our own "#atdsm" room
- Then Click "Connect Now!"
- You should automatically join #dsm. If something doesn't work, then maybe irc.dsm.org is down (quite possible) or an a/t dsm member has shown excessive misconduct and been banned or k-lined, and caused us all not to be able to join the channel.
- See below for some basic troubleshooting and IRC Commands.
Troubleshooting:
NOTE: If you are
using AOL,
as of this time, irc.dsm.org may NOT support AOL USERS. Sorry, I have
no control over this.
If you don't see red/black applet above, you either
do not support JAVA (get the latest browser of choice), have a firewall
that doesn't let inbound applets to work, or you didn't click "YES/GRANT"
when the software certificate window came up. If it's none of the above,
you may have a slow connection, try waiting for 1-2 minutes before complaining.
If it crashes your browser, something is wrong with the JAVA part of it.
I recommend using IE 4 or 5, with the latest "JAVA VM" installed
from microsoft. A quick link to the correct site for IE4+ is http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm32.htm
Netscape 4.7 has been tested as well, and now works fine.
HELP! how do I...

Have fun! If this page doesn't cut it for you, and you want to try your hand at a REAL IRC client, try downloading and installing Mirc, available here,
