Silc Improved

[Pekka Riikonen]

: i have written my own silc client. it has an very different concept to
: other silc/chat clients. it has _no_ user interface. all the input is
: done by writing to fifos. the output is written to files. so you can run
: it as a daemon and write your own scripts around it.
: 
: si [1] ( name of the client ) has the most features of silc implemented, but
: it is very untested. so if you have time and like the idea, you can
: download [2] and test it.
: 
Good idea, I like it.  If develoepd further, and if it supports all 
features and handles error conditions, it might be a great tool to use as 
a testing tool for SILC server.  Test cases would be just simple, or 
complex, scripts.  Though, it may not scale very well when there are 
thousands channels for example in a complex test case... Even still, good 
work.

You might also add multimedia inputs and outputs for sending images, 
music, etc... :)  Or maybe even codec based inputs/outputs so that you 
could stream video and audio directly. :)  OTOH, /dev/dsp would serve as 
both input and output. :)
