Better to use the new International CB (ICB), available via public ftp from athos.rutgers.edu in /pub/icb-client.tar.Z. At the prompt, type ftp athos.rutgers.edu, log on as anonymous and give your username@host as password. change to bin, go to directory pub and type get icb-client.tar.Z (it is over 300KB large). After uncompressing and tar xvf icb-client.tar.Z, you'll have a 600KB large file. Then run sh setup, and the program will install a couple of directories. After this is done, type make and the program icb will be generated in the directory /username/icb/icb/. copy this file to your root directory, possibly having to rename it (suggestion: fn). Upon running of the program you will be connected to a server at rutgers university to which at least germany and italy have already had access. If this news spreads over europe, we possibly could get a large international chatgroup going with the possibility of people from different countries talking to each other all contemporaneously. There is already a server in Germany, e-mail mnfriedrich@informatik.uni-erlangen.de for further information. >Please post any responses since my e-mail account shall be leaving in >a matter of days.
