Here's an old 8-bit computer; that I started with & learned so much on/with - and I can't use it to 'chat' with; about it! All the choices mentioned (& there may be others I'm not aware of) require using anything BUT an Apple 2, to do it. Maybe it just cannot do it. That's not un-expected - it is an old technology. It just would be nice it it were possible to use an A2 system and native software - to connect to and chat with, other Apple 2 afficionados. I can dream, can't I? :->
If you have a modem and term program for your A2, then you can connect to an ISP that has a shell account and chat. Though I can't get into EFnet for some reason, I can get into other servers, like irc.eskimo.com . And I happily chat away with my old 8-bit computer.
