Connecting to the AustNet chat network
Connecting to AustNet is easy, all you need is a internet relay chat client like MIRC (windows) or Xchat(linux).
Once you have installed you chat client, simply edit the fields in your connect box to suit you.
(Its a general rule not to enter any real information about yourself as it can be used by people that may want to expolit you.)
Then type '/server irc.austnet.org' which will connect you to a AustNet server.
After your connection is succesful, have a read of the message of the day which should have some conditions of use, then type '/join #politics' to enter our channel.
You should be able to start participating within 2 minutes of entering because our channel is moderated.
Heres some info on IRC About Internet relay chat

MIRC for windows
Xchat for linux and windows
Theres plenty of other chat programs to use, ask around or search google.
Hope to chat with you soon. :)
