Bip is an IRC proxy, which means it keeps connected to your preferred IRC servers, can store the logs for you, and even send them back to your IRC client(s) upon connection. You may want to use bip to keep your logfiles (in a unique format and on a unique computer) whatever your client is, when you connect from multiple workstations, or when you simply want to have a playback of what was said while you were away.
Features
General
- Transparent detaching and attaching of clients
- Proxy multiple users and IRC connections (multiuser, multiserver)
- Automatically join channels upon connection
- Backlog events (messages, nick changes, quits, …) upon client connection (optional)
- Optional timestamp backlogs
- Limit backlog to N lines per channel or backlog since since last client-quit or client-message
- Logging support – can be disabled for low disk space servers/accounts. It can even be done in memory if you want backlog without file on disk (think wrt54g and the like)
