IRC Server

Run erl -name erlirc -pa ebin and run the following commands in the erlang shell:

(erlirc@bete.ran)1> irc_app:start().
<SASL reports snipped>
(erlirc@bete.ran)2> {ok, Server} = irc_sup:start_server("localnet","localhost").
<SASL reports snipped>
{ok,<0.54.0>}
(erlirc@bete.ran)3> irc_server:listen(Server, 16667).
{ok,<0.56.0>}

Then from another bash console, telnet to the new server and send it IRC commands:

telnet localhost 16667
NICK test
USER test test localhost :Test User
JOIN :#test

IRC Client

Run erl -name client -pa ebin and run the following commands in the erlang shell:

(erlirc@bete.ran)1> {ok, C} = irc_client_fsm:start_link("erlirc","localhost", 16667).
{ok,<0.61.0>}
=INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 ===

Note that the erlirc server and client don't quite agree enough at the moment to successfully join channels.
