pfft...that is nothing. I was on a 286 running a DOS IRC client and managed to take back an IRC channel with more than 150 users that was previously taken over.

...no joke. However, in all seriousness: nice.
- mbbrutman 3y agoI have a small IRC client for that 286 if you still have it. Even has some Unicode support, but being limited to CP437 kind of limits it. ;-0
- anyfoo 3y agoDid that client exist in the 90s? I, too, IRC'd on a 286 laptop with TCP/IP packet drivers in the 90s.
- mbbrutman 3y agoNo, it's a 2009 creation. When I started mTCP I did netcat first because it was simple. My first iteration of an IRC client wasn't much better than netcat. It has improved since then though.
- anyfoo 3y agoAh. I remember mTCP, from trying again much later, then. You said you started it, so is that all yours? In any case, very impressive work, and still useful every once in a while next to the cool factor! And HTTP/1.1 with pipelining is seriously cool...
