Good IRC chat client....

I am looking for a good IRC chat client...preferably a free one. Right now I use Trillian, but I would prefer to use a different program for IRC. Anyone have any suggestions?

mIRC is pretty standard for windows machines.

MS Chat is banned in my channels.

Depends on your OS. For Linux I think XIRC is pretty popular.

How is better than BitchX? Isn't it based off the same code base? This is not a troll, I really would like to know. I've used both, and as far as I can tell, they are almost exactly the same.

I can not say as I do not know, but I used BitchX for a long while (liked it). After a while I said to myself, I want this that and something else. And Irssi had exactly that. Give it a shot, you very well might like it.

irssi vs. BitchX

irssi is coded from scratch. It is not from the BitchX codebase. irssi has a much cleaner and more intuitive interface. BitchX was written with script-kiddies in mind, whilst irssi was designed more for veteran IRC users.

mIRC is free, it just pops a page up asking for donations every so often when you start the program.

Thanks for the update. I just assumed there was a fork at some point, since they are so similar to use, and the look is the same.

BitchX is what I grew up on but I was never really a hardcore IRC guy either.

I only started IRC a few months ago but have been pretty happy with Xchat. My suggestion would be to try a few of them and keep the one that best fits you.
