Our IRC Network is based upon the Unreal IRCD (IRC Daemon or Server).
Anope IRC Services are used for ChanServ, NickServ and MemoServ.
We also use modified Eggdrop IRC Bots (Automated Robots) for various functions such as security and fun/games services. AustServ is our security bot which looks after the rooms and harvey is, well harvey is just a pain in the ass!!! Go and talk to harvey and you'll see what we mean!
NeoStats is used for security purposes including proxy scanning and blacklist scanning of connecting clients. There are many malicious scripts and trojans floating around on the network and NeoStats helps to keep clients infected with these off our network and away from our chatters.
We are currently have servers in several Australian states as well as overseas for our international chatters. We no longer list our servers individually as this in the past has lead to attacks from wannabe hackers and spammers.
You can always connect to an available server by using the irc.austchat.net hostname
