Description: Jarkko Oikarinen, founder of IRC, explains how it came about.
Written by Jarkko Oikarinen, founder of IRC. I don't know if this helps much. I hope I remember things correctly and apologise people whom I have left out and they had deserved to be in here. I was working in the Department of Information Processing Science in University of Oulu during summer'88. I guess they didn't have much for me to do. I was administring the department's sun server, but it didn't take all time. So I started doing a communications program, which was meant to make OuluBox (a Public Access BBS running on host tolsun.oulu.fi, administered by me) a little more usable. The purpose was to allow USENET News-kind of discussion and groups there in addition to real time discussions and other BBS related stuff.
