AustIRC IRC Servers Status
We currently have 10 IRCDs for the public. That should
be sufficient to handle the user load for now. But if you have a shell/server and would like to link
with us, you're most welcome. We're a strong and stable network always looking to expand further.

Go not unto the Usenet for advice, for you will be told both yea and nay (and
quite a few things that just have nothing at all to do with the question).
