f you'd rather chat from within your web browser, try one of the following:

• AfterNET qwebirc: Our new web-based IRC client. Excellent!
• AfterNET CGI:IRC: Our other very old web-based IRC client.
• Java Chat Applet: Requires that you have Java installed. Old and slow.
• Mibbit.com WebChat: Supports multiple networks. Has advertisements and frogs.

If you want to learn more about the various connection options, read this, or just /join #Help on IRC.

Our qwebirc client is the best way to chat on AfterNET from your web browser.

We still offer CGI:IRC as an older alternative to qwebirc.

Some users like Mibbit. It supports multiple networks and has advertisements and frogs.

To connect with our very outdated Java chat client, submit the form below.
