Ircii or epic!

[Jayson Smith]

Have you tried connecting to port 6667 of other servers?  How about port
6667 of your own machine?  Try this.  Use telnet to connect to...
for example, your isp's mail server, port 6667.
127.0.0.1 port 6667 (this is your local machine)
localhost port 6667 (another way to connect to your local machine)
yahoo.com port 6667 (some random host)
port 6667 of the irc server you're trying to use.
port 6667 of some other irc server.
Trying to connect to port 6667 of anything other than an irc server should
get you either no responce at all, then a connection timed out after a long
wait, or a connection refused.
To use telnet to do that, type in the command
telnet hostname port
where hostname is a domain name or an ip address, and port is the port
number.
Jayson.

Hi folks,
I have been trying to use Epic the ircii  equivalent of Fedora for sometime
without success.  When I try connecting to any irc server using port 6667, I
get the error message that I have no route to host.  When I try using other
ports such as 6668, or 6669, it connects ok.  Does this mean that port 6667
is disabled on my machine or disabled by my provider?  I need to activate
this port to be able to connect to the irc.the-bofh.com.  Does anyone have
an experience with this subject to lend me a hand?
Cheers,
Cris
