Finding a host server isn't much of a problem...it's the client program
that'll be the main part of the problem...and, given their behavior on
relay, I'm not sure any IRCadmin will hesitate to K-line (ban) the clients.

IRC doesn't have many standards, but it does have a few...harassment isn't
tolerated in the least...and like I said, given the behavior of the SAUP*
users...I doubt they'd last all that long on any irc server.

Actually I can vouch for this...the few times I actually signed onto relay,
I continuously had SAUP* users messaging me asking if I were a: female, b:
horny.  It got to the point where I had an .ign *@*saup* in my
profile.xyzzy.

*snicker* You mean flooding is on Bitnet too?  I thought that was only on
