BitchX is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client by Colten Edwards aka
panasync@EFnet, it is based on its predecessors ircII and Epic.
BitchX was originally started as a script by Trench and HappyCrappy for
the popular Unix IRC client ircII. Around Christmas of 1994 the script
was patched directly into the client by Colten Edwards.
BitchX includes features which make it a bot, bouncer, and a friendly
IRC client at the same time.
BitchX is one the most popular IRC clients among Unix systems. It is
highly customizable and capable of running scripts, so it can be used
as an IRC bot too.
Eggdrop is the world's most popular open source Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot.
Originally created by Robey Pointer in December 1993, it has spawned an almost
cult like following of users. It is a feature rich program designed to be
easily used and expanded upon (using Tcl scripting) by both novice and
advanced IRC users on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

Irssi is a modular IRC client that currently has only text mode user
interface, but 80-90% of the code isn't text mode specific, so other UIs could
be created pretty easily. Also, Irssi isn't really even IRC specific anymore,
there's already a working SILC module available. Support for other protocols
like ICQ could be created some day too.
KVIrc is a free portable IRC client based on the Qt GUI toolkit.
EPIC4 is a new direction in ircII development. No longer is EPIC 100%
backwards compatible with ircII, but instead those things where
compatibility is undesirable have been found and fixed. No gratuitous
incompatibilities have been added, but lots of new code has been added to
make EPIC the best ircII client available.
EPIC no longer shares any file names with ircII, so they should happily
co-exist.
EPIC5 is the 5th generation of the Enhanced Programmable ircII Client.
No longer is EPIC 100% backwards compatible with ircII, but instead those
things where compatibility is undesirable have been found and fixed. No
gratuitous incompatibilities have been added, but lots of new code has been
added to make EPIC one of the best ircII clients available.
EPIC no longer shares any file names with ircII, so they should happily
co-exist.
Due to it's minimalist approach it is highly recommended you use a script
with EPIC.
This is a package of Infobot, by Kevin Lenzo
The infobot connects to an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server, joins
some channels (maybe), and begins accumulating factoids. To run one,
download the source, uncompress it, untar it, edit the config files,
and it up.
The default install dir is /usr/local/share/infobot-0.xx.x since it
doesn't really belong in the Perl tree, by default. If you want
it installed elsewhere,use the -p option to change the PREFIX.
An IRC to other chat networks gateway. This program can be used
as an IRC server which forwards everything you say to people on
other chat networks like MSN/ICQ/Jabber.
This is a port of the ircd-ratbox IRC daemon.
ircd-ratbox is the primary ircd used on EFnet; it combines the stability
of an ircd required for a large production network together with a rich
set of features, making it also suitable for use on smaller networks.
Changes Include:
o Optional SSL support to enable encrypted connections between clients
and servers, as well as server to server links.
o Add support for SSL only channels, channel mode +S.
o sqlite3 for handling and storing k/x/d lines.
o Support for global CIDR limits.
o Added adminwall allowing admins to broadcast messages to each other.
o Creation of new library archive 'libratbox'.
o Support for forced nick changes (instead of collision kills).
o New ssld and bandb processes for SSL connections and ban checking;
these allow ratbox-3 to make better use of multi-processor systems.
