# Open up Chatrooms, and double click on the room you wish to join - usually 'Chat'.

# Set your username to what you wish to be seen as in the channel, and set the password to the channel password if it has one (You can leave it blank for most stuff).

[http://bitlbee.org bitlbee] is an IRC->IM bridge, so in order to use it you need to already have an IRC client setup. Setting it up depends on your OS and it's most popular on linux, so refer to your favorite distro's guide.

All the following commands are to be done in bitlbee's control channel (usually "&bitlbee", but the user can change to something else).

=== Getting logged in ===

Beware that bitlbee will use your irc nickname for all accounts you log in. On the uni's server, you should use your character's name (or the closest IRC-valid approximation you can get) as your handle.

# account add jabber [email protected] forum.password

# account list (to see your account list)

# account n on (where 'n' is the number of the new account)

=== Getting into a chat room ===

Unfortunately, there is no way to list chat channels through bitlbee, but you can join one. For example, to join the general 'chat' channel:

# chat add n [email protected] #chat ('n' again is your account number)

# /join #chat

You can put anything valid instead of "#chat" as the bitlbee-side channel name.
