Synopsis: dcc chat Description: DCC CHAT initiates a direct connection to another client, allowing the users to chat without needing to pass messages through the irc network. This is a very secure way of communicating on irc, not to mention that it is generally faster than sending messages across the irc network. To send a message across the DCC CHAT connection, use MSG as you normally would, but prefix the nickname with a "=". Additionally, CTCP commands can be sent across a DCC CHAT connection (allowing you to initiate a DCC SEND, for instance), if the remote client is also an EPIC3 (or compatible) client. See the appropriate help files for more information. See Also: ctcp(1); msg(1); on(5) dcc_chat, send_dcc_chat
