Not sure what kind of traffic your ircd needs to support, but C# likely won't keep up with anything high volume. I tried at one point to write an irc services daemon using Java and it didn't work out very well.
FYI, I am a pretty competent irc programmer having worked on ircu (http://freshmeat.net/projects/ircu/?topic_id=24), HybServ (http://www.efnet.org/software/services/hybserv/), and was the founding programmer of GamesNET Services (http://www.gamesnet.net/services.php). -Matt > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On > Behalf Of Remco Rijnders > Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 11:34 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Mono-list] Mono fitness for ircd project > > > Dear all, > > Having just subscribed to this list I am not sure if this is the right > place to ask or not, but lacking any alternatives I'll ask my questions > in here anyways.
