Conferencing Programs

There are a couple of different programs that allow you to talk interactively with more than one person at different sites. These programs are unsuported and not installed on all machines.

The basic idea for the programsis to have a large amount of people using the program from different places at the same time, sort of like a party line on the phone. You can join different "channels" or groups with different topics and talk to all the people on the channel, or you can send private messages to a certain user.
