-chat <group> <text> Chat or Conference to a group
It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to that +group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A +conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seem +to work too well anyway.
+This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both other +DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>).
+You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-
++
+
+ JOIN FOC (where FOC is the group name)
+
+
+
+To leave a group type:-
++
+
+ LEAVE FOC
+
+
+
+You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
++
+
+ STAT/USER
+
+
+
+and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to the +same node as you, by typing:-
++
+
+ STAT/USER g1tlh
+
+
+
+To send a message to a group type:-
++
+
+ CHAT FOC hello everyone
+
+
+
+or
++
+
+ CH #9000 hello I am back
+
+
+
