Epic 5 is a useful old irc client that is still maintained.

You can run 'epic5' from the command line. To log in to SDF's server, for example:

epic5 <your login name> irc.sdf.org

Once you are in, use the basic commands such as /join #sdf to join a room.

To make EPIC5 more useful (their website, https://www.epicsol.org/ is maddeningly *not useful* for navigating the app), it is suggested that you install LiCe

Once you have it install, these are the LICE commands:

/HELP - Gives you an integrated help function
/TOG - Change various LiCe settings
/MTOG - Change settings relating to messages
/WTOG - Change settings relating to Windows
/THEME - Change the theme. There are many built into LiCe!
/J [channel] - Join a channel
/L - Leave a channel
/M [nick] - Send [nick] a message
[TAB] - Cycle through the last few people to send you a message
/SC - List all nicknames on the channel
/WI [nick] - Give you the whois information for a nickname
/T - Show the topic on a channel.
/AR [nick] - Set nickname(s)/word(s) that will be logged/highlighted when said publically.
/SB - Show current bans on a channel
/GONE [message] - Tell people you<80><99>re away (and set you away on the server)
/BACK - Tell people you<80><99>re back (and tells the server you<80><99>re back)
