is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small

.PP
It's written from scratch and is not based upon the original IRCd like
many others. It is easy to configure, supports server links (even with
original ircd's) and runs on hosts with changing IP addresses (such as

.IR "lightweight Internet Relay Chat server"

.PP
Currently supported platforms include AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.

systems as well. By default, ngIRCd writes diagnostic and informational messages using
the syslog mechanism.
