 +===== Configure =====
 +
 +This module supports the following configuration options in the ''[chat]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:modopts.ini]]'' file:
 +
 +^ Option       ^ Default               ^ Description ^
 +| finger       | true                  | Allow finger client use |
 +| imsg         | true                  | Allow inter-BBS instant messenger use |
 +| irc          | true                  | Allow IRC client use                  |
 +| irc_server   | irc.synchro.net 6667  | Comma-separated list of IRC Server addresses and (optional) TCP port |
 +| irc_channel  | #Synchronet           | Comma-separated list of IRC Channels to auto-join |
 +| irc_seclevel | 90                    | Security level required to change IRC server/channel parameters |
 +
 +==== Servers-specific Channel Lists ====
 +
 +Do you have multiple IRC servers configured in ''modopts.ini'' and you want a different channel list per server? Just add more
 +keys to the ''modopts.ini [chat_sec]'' section of the form:
 +  <server>=<channel_list>
 +
 +Where ''<server>'' is the IRC server's host name (e.g. ''irc.synchro.net'')
 +and ''<channel_list>'' is a comma-separated list of channels to override
 +the default list of channels (set with the ''irc_channel'' key).
