Ehh you cant send files over dcc via a telnet connection afaik the irc 
program you were running via this telnet was ircII which is a unix 
program run on demons ircserver which you can telnet into the files 
you could dcc to somebody would have to be on that machine eg if the 
client has read access to the files on the machine you could dcc send 
the .ircrc file to someone.. or one of the other files from the 
machine... but I dont think demon would be that stupid /dcc send 
whoever /etc/passwd :-)) (wouldn't work anyway since demon are on a 
shadown password file thingy now anyway)

Its capable if you were logged in properly to it and had yyour own 
filespace.. the files would have to be transfered there first via ftp 
or z modem etc. 

>If anyone can shed some light on this one, i'd be very grateful.

Best bet is to use stik irc use the arrow keys left and right to swap 
between your dcc's in progress and any channels you may be on ^k 
speeds up dcc's on stik irc sessions lots by the way (thanks Guy :-))
