On http://mircpipe.mypage.org (or http://members.xoom.com/mircpipe/) you
can find a program called mIRCpipe. This is what the program does :

- it opens a port on your system (user definable)
- you connect your mIRC (Pirch hasn't been tested yet) to that port
- the program makes a connection to a shell
- from that shell a telnet-session with an IRC server is started
- the data that is send by the telnet on the shell is redirected to the
  opened port on your system
- mIRC (or another Win 95/NT oriented IRC-client) responds on the
  data and you're connected to an IRC-server via a shell.

The advantages :
- you have the advantages of a shell
            - you're protected against nukes
            - you can hide the address you're IRC'ing from, because on
              IRC you have the address of the shell you're using
- you still have the comfort of mIRC. Everything works, there aren't
  any limitations that you would have when you would use SOCKS.
  You can use DCC chat, DCC send etc.
- The program is free and will be free in the future

The disadvantages :
- it isn't as easy as pressing the connect-button in mIRC, but the
  program certenly isn't difficult.

What we're looking for :
we (Caps & REalistic) are looking for people who would like to test
the program for bugs. Especially Windows NT users and non-mIRC
users are welcome. Any feedback is welcome ! ( realistic@altern.org )

The program can be downloaded from http://mircpipe.mypage.org or
http://members.xoom.com/mircpipe/

Thanks in advance,
REalistic & Caps
