Nettalk

Nettalk is an easy to configure client that uses the Internet Relay Chat protocol to allow communication between people from all over the world.

The interface is intuitive and displays the standard window for this type of software, allowing you to view the chat pane, the server section, the available chat rooms and the user list. The program can manage several connections at the same time by opening each one in a separate tab.

Setting up a connection is just a matter of pressing a few 'Next' buttons if you use the built-in wizard. The software provides support for invisible connections, which means that none of the channel users can see your name in their list.

Automatic command and nick completion, syntax insertion, together with the configurable text and menu shortcuts are features that make the application very easy to use. It comes with spell checking tools, file transfer capabilities, message logging and sock proxy support.

One of the advantages that Nettalk brings you is its ability to remember the room lists and the configuration settings of every IRC connection (server, message encoding, nickname, password, user ID etc.) and restore your favorite channels when opening the application again. In case of a disconnection, the program can optionally try to re-establish the connections at predefined time intervals.

Also, it provides on-screen displaying of received messages and customizable sound notifications. Text encryption, script commands (to help you automate operations) and plug-in support are other feature of this IRC client.

The application's appearance is fully customizable, as you can change the message colors, the fonts, the skin and the background picture.

Nettalk offers you a secure method for exchanging files and keeping in touch with your friends and acquaintances.
