This is what you'll need to build your own IRC using my web site: MSNTV (WebTV) Internet receiver. Know how to Cut, Copy & Paste. Web space. If you don't already have web space, go to Angelfire, Tripod, Geocities or any other web space provider and set up an account. Some HTML knowledge. To see what the IRC screen looks like, click here.

Things to keep in mind while using the IRC Builder Read the instructions for each step. Some of the source code may need to be altered by you. For example, the title of your IRC, and common phrases you'd like to re-use. Due to the total size of all the files, it may be advantageous to build the IRC directly after logging on to your WebTV unit.
