(1.1b) How to set up IRC chat
-----------------------------
Easiest method: Use the official webclient provided by the 'Freenode' IRC
server. Start your internet browser and enter this URL:
https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23tomenet
You will be prompted to enter a chat name of your choice and to click the box
saying "I'm not a robot", then you can click the "Connect" button and voila.
If you are already familiar with IRC, just see (1.1a) above for the IRC specs,
otherwise read on here.

Easiest method is to just use the lightweight webclient provided on the
libera.chat website. Start your internet browser and enter this URL:
https://web.libera.chat/?channels=#tomenet
You can change the predefined random 'guest' nick name to anything of your
choice provided it's not already reserved by someone else, then click 'Start'.
(The channel name "#tomenet" should have already been filled in for you.)
