The biggest problem with that, is Efnet doesn't allow bots, unless you ask specific permission from the server admin. I suppose if the bot has a purpose a server admin will allow it on the server. irc.gate.net allows our service to run a bot in #Trivia but the sole purpose of the bot is to ask trivia questions. I would be more than happy to have one of my IRC clients sit in a channel and I could possibly have it serve as a dcc get client, for my computer is already set up to send files on a whim, and set up to be an FTP site. The only problem with that is the fact that I am currently using just a 14.4 connection temporarily, instead of a 28.8 and this client is only up and running when I am home. It is usually up and running all night long in IRC anyway. Mary L.
