+There is SILC server up and running that can be tested. Just give command
+/server silc.pspt.fi to connect to the server. There may be some action
+on channel #silc so you might want to give command /join #silc.  Because
+of the current shortcomings of the SILC client and server you won't get
+user list who has joined to the channel thus you don't see who is on the
+channel. To get into action just say hello.

-The Pressrelease:
+The Press release:
+<p>
+New Open Source project called Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC)
+has been started.  Initial development version of the software is
+available for testing.
+<p>
+SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides
+secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel.
+SILC is IRC like software although internally they are very different.
+Biggest similiarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide
+conferencing services and that SILC has almost same commands as IRC.
+Other
+than that they are nothing alike.  Biggest differences are that SILC is
+secure what IRC is not in any way.  The network model is also entirely
+different compared to IRC.
+<p>
+SILC is an open source (or freeware) project and it has been released
+under the GNU General Public Licence.  The SILC is free to use and
+everyone
+is free to distribute and change the SILC under the terms of the GNU GPL.
+While there is no guarantee for the product SILC has been tried make
+as secure as possible.  Developers are needed and everyone is free to
+contribute their time, skills and ideas for the project.
