i'll knock up a quick howto, as i have plenty of time on my hands.  
also i think there are free java applets that could be added to the 
website and set to automagically join the scotlug channel. if anyone is 
interested in that i'll look into it, i know a few places have that, or 
maybe a CGi script or something, i dunno.
