What is IRC
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication. More information can be found in the wikipedia article
How do I get on?
You need an IRC-client to connect to the network. There are many clients available and it's up to you to decide what you use. Every clients homepage usually has a nice tutorial or helpage on how to connect with the client.

Battlemaster IRC history
irc.battlemaster.org
There was a time when Tom had created an own IRC-server for Battlemaster. The server was up for a short time, but was closed down. The reason probably being that it never really caught on or that it was more trouble than it was worth. Hopefully we'll see the server up once again and see it catch on.
Quakenet(irc.quakenet.org)
Quakenet is the stronghold for Battlemaster related channels. There are many realm specific channels, but there is also #battlemaster. #battlemaster was created on April 13th 2003 and it serves as a gathering point for all Battlemaster players.
The channels
Here's a little list of channels that exist on various networks.
