To get onto FFIRC, you need to get onto server irc.newberry.edu, channel
#fanfic . You should be able to do this with UNIX IRC, though it's far
from convenient. Just go into IRC and then do a

/server irc.newberry.edu

followed by a

/join #fanfic

The channel can also be accessed via the web, by going to
http://irc.newberry.edu:8080 , but you need a Java-capable browser which
you obviously haven't got. We're generally there Sunday afternoons and
most evenings.
