PAPICHAT is the original real-time online chat for papillon friends who own, show or are just interested in Papillons. While some chat groups have scheduled chat times, we are there EVERY night, starting at 9pm cst/10pm est. We welcome anyone who wants to join us to chat about the "Butterfly Dog" and make new friends. We promise you will have a good time! In order to chat, you need to download the mIRC program.

If you use Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 or XP download mIRC 32 bit, Version 6.16. It is shareware and is free for 30 days use. After that, if you do  not register it, you will get a 'nag screen' telling you to buy it but it will still work. {{If you use Windows 3.11, you need to get the 16 bit version.}} Choose a download location and save the file to your hard drive. Once mIRC has downloaded, click on OPEN and install it and then, do the following. Click on FILE and OPTIONS and fill in the fields with your own information. Use the down arrow to change the default server to ShadowWorld. See the screen shots below but do not put in Pappyon for your name...that is just there as an example!

Now, click on OK and your information will be saved. Next, click on File and on Connect.  A Channels Folder will pop up and you need to type in #papichat, click on ADD, highlight #papichat and then click on JOIN. The next time you connect, #papichat will already be there. A common error people make is connecting to the default server, usually Dalnet, and they end up in a room named #papichat but are all alone! Make sure you have selected ShadowWorld from the list of servers. Also, it can take up to 45 seconds to connect, depending on your Internet Provider, your modem, etc so please be patient!

What you see below is a typical Papichat session. (if there is such a thing, lol) Download mIRC and come and join us! We promise you loads of fun and you might even learn a thing or two.

***NOTE If you are an AOL user and have trouble connecting, try this. Set the Port Number at 7000 and also click on the LOCAL INFO tab and clear out all the boxes. Unmark both boxes in "On Connect Always Get" and make sure the Method Box is on Normal. Leave the Group and Password blank and click on OK.
