IRC info

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@ACCESS.DIGEX.NET>]

Well John Cowan is here so LogFest has technically started. Alas he went
to bed beofre telling me what he found out about IRC.

I am enclosing the intro message on my server, which lists the server name
(hopefull therefore telling you-all where to find us, but I don't know
enough to be sure.  They also reference therein a Web site for info about
IRC, which may help sme of you who do not know how to connect.Read on below.

I still hope to be on at 1000 EDT tomorrow (1400 GMT I think) as well as
1400 and 2000EDT.
