7 | <para> |
---|
8 | Since BitlBee acts just like any other irc daemon, you can connect to |
---|
9 | it with your favorite irc client. Launch it and connect to localhost port 6667 |
---|
10 | (or whatever host/port you are running bitlbee on). |

16 | <title>The #bitlbee control channel</title> |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | <para> |
---|
19 | Once you are connected to the BitlBee server, you are automatically joined |
---|
20 | to #bitlbee on that server. This channel acts like the 'buddy list' you have |
---|
21 | on the various other chat networks. |
---|
22 | </para> |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | <para> |
---|
25 | The user 'root' always hangs around in #bitlbee and acts as your interface |
---|
26 | to bitlbee. All commands you give on #bitlbee are 'answered' by root. |

32 | <title>Talking to people</title> |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | <para> |
---|
35 | You can talk to by starting a query with them. In most irc clients, |
---|
36 | this can be done with either <command>/msg <nick> <text></command> |
---|
37 | or <command>/query <nick></command>. |
---|
38 | </para> |
---|
39 | |
---|
40 | <para> |
---|
41 | To keep the number of open query windows limited, you can also talk to people |
---|
42 | in the control channel, like <command><nick>: <text></command>. |
