Which IRC network? There are dozens of IRC networks and although
you can find channels with the same name on different networks,
they rarely share common personalities.
In any case, I would expect that an IRC channel would contain
mostly front-line NOC people, and except for the smaller networks
where one person wears many hats, I would not expect to find=20
such people hanging out on the NANOG list.
Now, perhaps #nanog is not the channel I am thinking of, in which
case I think it would be a good idea for someone with first
hand experience to post the channel or channels which do=20
cover this type of stuff. Same thing goes for Jabber channels
or any other IM network. Is there a place where frontline
network operators hang out, where it is not frowned upon to
ask operational questions about events in progress?
