-=head2 Urgent Appeal

-As you may already know, Egypt cut nearly all international Internet

-encourage someone who doesn't care about his own anonymity to run pppd
-on a phone line, as a dialup AnoNet ISP for Egyptians who can't access
-AnoNet by the regular methods.  All you need is a Unix (GNU/Linux,
-*BSD, etc. - anything that can run pppd) computer with a fax/modem and
-an available telephone line (incoming calls only).  If you can help,
-please find SRN on IRC (no technical knowledge necessary).

+=head2 IRC Channels
+
+The activity level on #anonet got a bit too high (especially with all the bots), so some new channels have been added.  Here are the currently known channels:
+
+=over
+
+=item #anonet (chat/anonet)
+
+This is the main channel for AnoNet-related discussion.  All AnoNet2 IRC servers carry this channel.
+
+=item #talk (chat/talk)
+
+This is a new channel for general talk, and at least for now it is the home of most of our bots.  Only sevil and SRN IRC servers carry this channel.
+
+=item #1984 (chat/1984)
+
+This is a channel that BrainBox requested.  Some SRN IRC servers carry it.
+
+=back
+
+Creating a new channel is done the traditional way (just /join it),
+but linking the channel through the udpmsg3 cloud requires a little
+bit of configuration for all current udpmsg3 clients.  SRN is happy to
+reconfigure his stuff for any new channel.
