    As Digital Man says, there's plenty of servers already but if you do
    want to run the IRC server, out of curiosity or whatever, you can use
    the ircdcfg.js script to help configure your ircd.ini file. Also, make
    sure you configure RBLs with dnsbl.dronebl.org being the minimum to
    help block unwanted bots and spam connections.

    best way to prevent bots is to run it on ssl and a non standard port.
    PERIOD.

    service then, so as a logon user you
    can just IRC from within the BBS.

    The IRC client on the BBS can be
    configured to connect to whatever
    server you want. The IRC server service
    allows you to have your own chat area
    (or server) separate from whatever
    random public is using IRC out there.
    Like if you have a group of friends
    that wanted to chat somewhere without
    the possibility of randos joining or
    something.
