:: Internet CB NETwork ::
ICB (Internet Citizen's Band) is an Internet teleconferencing program that uses a client-server model to allow users across the Internet to communicate with each other. If you have any additions, suggestions, comments, questions, or corrections, please let me know. if you have a client or server not listed here, please send me (nick sl'lee, default.icb.net) a /write so you can be added. If you are interested in writing your own client, you can view the V1 protocol specifications here. 4/23/04: initial proof of concept work done on a new v2 XML-based protocol available here with flash client |
