[inbox] OT: Chat Networks Used

[Joe]

While we're on the subject.  I know what an instant messenger is, but 
that's all I know about them.  Mozilla comes with Chatzilla, but I don't 
know how to configure it.  Any pointers on how to do that, a good howto 
article, or a reason why I should try to install gaim, etc. instead 
would be appreciated.

Are instant messaging and irc's two separate things?  I need basics.

Thanks.

Joe
