The Freedom client does not have the ability to connect to multiple networks and that ability is not planned at this time unless someone else wishes to contribute code to make that possible.

Does AckFUSS not include the I3 client as well as the IMC client? SmaugFUSS did (sorry, I branched off from SmaugFUSS a major version or so ago) and all you really had to do was toggle the include flags in your Makefile to include both (or either, or neither, if you prefer) and then use the setup included for each. Personally, I set my mud to stop listening to I3 just before Cratylus took over that network and really hadn't looked back, but that's not a reflection on Cratylus, it's a reflection on how badly I felt at the time about the network. Of course, in that transition, I talked Samson into creating the inews channel on IMC and I talked Tim into bringing his TimBot to IMC to use inews, since then Kiasyn's expanded on the idea with his rss feeds and later his Megabot considerably and Kayle's added ivent and imusic as well. But I digress.. the point is that SmaugFUSS included (includes?) both clients so there's no obvious reason your code can't support both as well.

I think he's talking about connecting to two IMC or two i3 networks at the same time.

SmaugFUSS does not include the I3 client and hasn't for some time now. I removed it about the time the I3 network run by Greg turned to crap and became completely unreliable anyway.
I no longer provide support for the existing I3 client that's available in the repository. Frankly I wish someone would write up an entirely new one. The one I expanded on was a complete mess and prone to crashing from poor string handling, and I've never been good with C strings.

While we are on this subject, i am thinking of adding IMC back into EldhaMUD to see how it goes. I have been lurking on IMC on and off for the last few weeks and it seems to be much different from what i remember it to be. Which client do you recommend that i install. I will also add it into the next release code as well, which is not far away either.

Sorry, Im not trying to use the client to directly connect to the I3 server.
Conner said:Actually, from what he was saying on IMC the other night, I believe he's trying to connect to both networks but using the freedom client because Cratylus had offered his IMC bridge as a means to reach the I2 network. :shrug:
This is what I wanted to do. Its still connecting via IMC, to Crat's bridge, so that I can use I3 with IMC.
If you go into the IMC.config file and change the ServerAddr and Port to
ServerAddr 204.209.44.3
ServerPort 8888
It will connect you to talk on the I3 channels. I just wanted to be able to use both. It wouldnt involve adding code to
connect to I3, just the ability to connect to two IMC2 servers.

As I said, the Freedom client does not support connecting to more than one IMC2 server. Which in effect means you only get one network with it unless there's some other bridging going on behind the scenes.

The Freedom and I3 clients run fine side-by-side. Never attempted 2 of one type though.

From the Faq it says its possible to connect to multiple servers. Could someone help me? Or at least point me in the right direction. I would appreciate it.
Are you able to run an additional server process on your server? If you are then you could consider make an imc2 proxy server that is able to connect to additional networks. E.g you connect the MUD to the proxy which in turn connect to the MudBytes and Intermud3 IMC2 servers.
