UnrealIRCd is an Open Source IRC Server. Development of UnrealIRCd began in May of 1999. Unreal was created from the Dreamforge IRCd that was formerly used by the DALnet IRC Network.
Over the years, many new and exciting features have been added to Unreal. UnrealIRCd is hard to even see a resemblance between the current Unreal and Dreamforge.
Unreal can run on several operating systems. Unreal works on most *nix OSes including Linux, BSD, MacOS X, Solaris, and HP-UX. Unreal also works on Windows (NT4/2K/XP/2003). UnrealIRCd is designed to be an advanced IRCd, so it is probably not the best choice for beginners.
