			There are many IRC servers and networks of servers. In this example, we'll connect to a network of servers called EFnet. So if you do

			/server irc.efnet.org

			in your IRC client, it will connect you to one of the EFNet servers. Once you're connected,
			you'll see the MOTD (Message of the day) scroll by. You're now connected
			to a server. Now you join whatever channel you want.

			/join #irchelp

			will put you in a popular IRC help channel. You can be on many channels at once, so you might also want to:

			/join #help

			for more generalized help. If you want to see what channels are on a given server:

			/list
