Hi there, does anybody know of a way to have encrypted conversations on the IRC or via ytalk? Thanks, Harka ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30 [NR]

If you use a unix irc client there is a function call for crypt that can be used to crypt decrypt data with a key. This not the best or most secure way of doing things but it does work and it is easy to make use of many of "Elite/warezpuppy/gotnobrian wanna b" scripts have this already coded in. Example are phoenix, venom, and the list goes on. Carlos

Well, as for irc, not unless you make your client do it. Though, try using more secure dcc protocol, described as Direct Client to Client protocol -- implementing whatever you want there to be is possible and easy. See rfc1459.
Thanks, Harka
