It's an official document that describes the IRC protocol. You can find it with any search engine. Telnet is a pretty strange way to use IRC, because you have to send commands directly to the server. But it's possible (the commands I've sent - USER, NICK, JOIN, PRIVMSG, QUIT - are in all caps, and replies from the server are prefixed by a colon): $ telnet irc.openprojects.net 6667 Trying 216.53.71.65...
