  • Use any IRC-compatible chat client to participate in Talk City chat rooms*
  • As a Talk Citizen, you have your choice of dozens of third-party IRC chat clients to use in Talk City chat rooms. Popular IRC programs like mIRC, Pirch, and others are developed by other companies or individuals. Some are free, some are shareware, and some require license fees. The Talk Citizen Basic plan is compatible with most of these third-party programs.†
