No, it isn't.

How about WB 3.1 on a fairly standard A1200?

I think the gist of the answer is no... but you can do this as a serial terminal to another machine with a command shell (serial terminal server).

I think it is possible. You need to use a very lightweight TCP/IP stack e.g. AmiTCP or RoadShow and older version of AMIRC or GrapeVine.

You can even run it via PCMCIA WPA2/AES WIFI and have FTP for transfering files as well.
Have a look here. Standard Amiga 1200 with 2MB Chip Ram and PCMCIA WPA2/AES card.

You can do that with a pocket calculator. But it's not an IRC client on an Amiga.

there is OrionIRC which was made in BlitzBasic - the doc say:

Requirements

As far as I know,

any Amiga running a TCP stack with Miami or AmiTCP equivelant TCP stack
.. andy chipset or GFX card..
"bsdsocket.library"

Your memory requirements will rise as more random lines and greetings you
have..

There is no bsdsocket implementation for OS 1.3, the only alternatives you have are KA9Q (all in one package, no IRC client) and AS225R1 (no IRC client AFAIK).

emufan · 07 July 2016, 16:07

too bad :/
this KA9Q thing is new to me.

This is the KA9Q Internet Software Package. The package supports IP, ICMP,
TCP, UDP, and ARP as basic services, and implements the FTP, Telnet, and
SMTP protocols as applications. It runs on IBM PC and clones, the Apple
Macintosh, and the Amiga.
