Yeah, instead of a telnet interface, I went ahead and installed a java SSH client onto tacgnol. You can access it by going to http://www.stenoweb.net/term/It takes a moment to load, but it works perfectly, at least here.

By default you have to hit enter to connect SSH to stenoweb.net, then it'll ask for your uid/password and you'll be able to log into access screen, irssi or ircii. It also has a few other nice things like an SFTP/SCP file transfer module, and it can do remote X forwarding (however I don't have any X applications installed on tacgnol.)

If anybody wants an account to tacgnol, just let me know and I can create an account for you!

OS X already has an SSH client. I'm not sure how this is useful. I thought you meant you had installed a Java IRC client.

Mike, seriously, if you only visit once per month (if even that) then you are the minority here and the rest of us should not have to bend over backwards just to support you and the troublemakers.You and other legit users have been provided with other options. Please stop pushing for mibbit.

Also, Cory, I support the ban of mibbit and believe that it should last. Any web based client that masks user`s host addys should not be permitted.

You can bend as much or as little as you like. I'm not dictating the amount of bend-age you or others should endure. I used Mibbit twice and found it convenient. The convenience is gone so I probably just won't visit anymore. It doesn't matter if the tool is called Mibbit or Freenode or Grandma.
