America Online is not the only way to chat. Both AOL and non-AOL users can
use ICQ and AIM, which work like AOL's built-in instant messaging. IRC is
a multi-user conferencing system that lets several people talk among each
other, similar to AOL's "chat rooms".
Some years ago, the official place for Klingonists to talk online was a
MUSH -- sort of a cross between a chat room and an interactive adventure
game. It was unailable for a while, but it's now back in a somewhat
abbreviated form. There hasn't been a lot of activity lately, but I hope
we can work on that.
If you have a MUSH/MUD/MUCK/MOO client program such as SimpleMU or
TinyFugue, or if you're comfortable with Telnet, you can connect to the
KLI's MUSH at www.kli.org, port 2218. Take a look around and get
comfortable with the environment. Sometime in the next month I'd like to
organize a "virtual qepHom", with at least one (hopefully more) experienced
Klingonist online and ready to welcome newcomers.
