IRC enables users to discuss issues, make plans, help out others with their wireless projects, chat instantly with others, etc.
Although not the official voice of Air-Stream and now strictly Air-Stream members only, it can still be a useful source of information.
To use this service you will need your Air-Stream members login.
There are multiple IRC servers linked together, these can be accessed via the Air-Stream wireless network and the internet using a IRC client.

Due to the nature of IRC, moderation of content is difficult to control and thus the actions of users on the IRC server remain the responsibility of themselves, not Air-Stream Wireless Inc. Server operators, channel operators or channel half operators to reprimand disruptive users. Administrators of this server reserve the right to intercept and monitor any network traffic in response to suspected denial of service attack or other technical misuse. By connecting to these IRC servers you understand and agree to these terms and conditions.
To provide another opportunity to ask questions outside our regular monthly meetings we are soon to open a public IRC channel via this website each week.
The aim of this project is to allow anyone to ask direct questions in real-time about our community and the technology used. More importantly have these answered by the people who have been building and maintaining it.
To ensure these people are available on the IRC channel we will be only opening the channel on a specific night each week, local time. More information coming soon...
