Splitted irc/ftp & added jbouncer (19 june 2006)

[edit] Some points

Several pointson this page:

  1. There is no external link to psybnc (probably the most popular bouncer),
  2. the bit about vhosts is wrong. vhost doesnt stand for vanity host but for virtual host.
  3. Another reason for using bncs is to keep your name (particularly on servers where nick registration isnt available).
  4. "The use of a vhost does not conceal the connection any better, but merely adds an amusing statement as the hostname.", often if you get a bnc from a shell provider then it will completely mask your own actual ip using the shells instead.
  5. "Often times state changes are tracked so that they may be relayed to the client upon reconnection", to me this makes no sense at all. I think its saying that on connection to the bnc it will play a log of pms. -- RND  T  C  16:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article naming

The term Bounce in this case is what a Bouncer does, so why is the wiki page called "Bounce (network)" as opposed to "Bouncer (network)"?
Something to ponder.
