IRC Servers

As a relative newbie to the Net, I have tried in vain to find an IRC serve that is up and running. Are there any current IRC servers that I could telnet to? Bradenville.andrew.cmu.edu does not exist and neither does santefe.santafe.edu. Those two were given to me as was 131.130.39.27 6668. However, that site does not seem to respond to any login attempts. Frustrated, I turn to the Cypherpunks for help... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Smith -*jersmit@eis.calstate.edu*- My views are my own and nobody else can have them! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
