That was the address that Gryphon used when he was writing the original version of MRC.
Someone has updated MRC and the address to connect, you'll need to
update to that version. I'm not sure what that version is or where to
get it.
Can anyone comment?

I use:
mrc_client.py mrc.bottomlessabyss.net 5000
mrc_client.py mrc.bottomlessabyss.net 5000
^^^^ That is the corret address, and also make sure you have the newest MRC package:
MRC 1.2.9a
Thanks. I've upgraded the version, and used the correct address now, I think. So at least in theory, I shoukd be set up now, although I donpt seem to be having much luck testing it. I can enter mrc, and exit, but I can't seem to get any other commands to do anything.

I don't want you to get discouraged; I've seen your woes as you start to setup a system. Just know that we ALL went thru the setup issues.
Learning how Mystic
add-ons work, and etc... LOL.
Funny thing is, even way later when you kinda know a LOT; things will still trip you up. SO, don't trip...
Things to remember with MRC. Ok... the server must be loaded, first, before you
try to run any MRC menu commands.
So, make sure the server is loaded in the background. OK, check.
Make sure you have the newest MRC software.
Make sure you've compiled it using './mplc mrcfilename.mps'...
Create a menu command in Mystic thats something like: (GX) /home/pi/mystic/themes/default/scripts/mrc_client
Then jump on yer BBS and enter the MRC rooms.
Type '/bbses' to see a list of BBSes connected... this will show that you're server is all connected.
Then, try to say hello. Someone is usually in there.
I'll run through the steps again. I'm missing something simple. Everything apoears to be working, but The only command when I'm ine MRC that actually does anything is /quit.
To me, it sounds like the server isn't running... I say that because
when my server isn't running right none of the MRC commands work, but /quit does.. lemme look at my...
you should be running mrc_client.py with something like this (I'm on
Linux so yours might be a little different.)
"./mrc_client.py mrc.bottomlessabyss.net 5000"
And, you'll either need to keep that Window open OR run it in a way that your OS keeps it open...
In Linux, I have it on a system.d 'service' that keeps it running; but
you can also just have a terminal window open, so long as it says:
Fri Feb 19 00:35:20 2021 Multi Relay Chat Client v1.2.9 [sf]
Fri Feb 19 00:35:21 2021 Connected to Multi Relay Chat host mrc.bottomlessabyss.net port 5000
Listen, theres some other config files to edit - where you set a 'name' for your BBS and the .mps & compiled .mpx file need to be in your
/scripts directory. IF you still have issues I'm off tomorrow and you could give me a shout and we can have a quick voice call to go over it.
I'm on Discord, I think you joined the channel - or hit my BBS with a #
to text. :P

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but are you running the mrc_client.py and connecting to bottomlessabyss? I am not sure how
it gets done in Linux, but in windows, you just run the mrc_client.py mrc.bottomlessabyss.net 5000 from a Dos window and you are connected.
Then the mx file will connect and you will get your BBS listings... I currently have it running on both my Mystic and my Enigma boards with no issues..
I forgot the ./ before the command. I knew it would be something
simpke. It's working now.
I'll run through the steps again. I'm missing something simple. Everything apoears to be working, but The only command when I'm ine MRC that actually does anything is /quit.
In anycase, MRC now works, so I'm on to my next project.
What's the current MRC server everyone is using? It's been quite some
time since I've been on. Last update I did was using tbbs.homeip.net

I'm using v1.2.9 which I believe is the latest.
I'm using the latest version I believe. I was asking what server
everyone is using now.
The MRC server is mrc.bottomlessabyss.net port 5000
what's the server/port for MRC please...

Does anyone already have a MRC client that can work ok on a 132x36
screen ? It seems this one can only do 80x25. On a larger sreen it
seems to put things in the wrong places.

You need to get mrcX client for 132x37 mrc use, grab from my repo here; https://erb.pw/y/mrcxbeta
Once you got it running, make sure to set the screen size autodetection
to on by doing this in mrcX;
/set scrdetect
Thanks for the reply! Crewmate let me know when I was on MRC. So I downloaded it and got it up and running. So much better, I even
switched to your Theme for the moment ;)
Did you try it yet in 132x37 mode? If so did you set the screen detect
on?
Is there a way to connect to MRC using a regular IRC client?
Also, if you haven't tried it yet, I've just released an alpha of MRC
1.3, which now supports SSL, wide-terminal, themes and a whole lot more features. Looking for feedback and theme contributors.

It can be fetched from my board at bbs.bottomlessabyss.net:2023 for now.

Now, we need to bribe echicken to update the Synchronet client. Booze, strippers, new hardware -- anyone have any suggestions?

I'll see between echicken, codefenix and myself to get this updated, at least for the new core features like SSL.
