Yes, you can use it and it's free (if you have a shell acouint - which isn't free).
BUT you can not connect to all irc servers. Some servers don't allow bots (like moast IRCnet severs).

You can eather use the preinstaled bot:

Instructions are at http://www.polarhome.com/service/networ ... p3?lang=en :

* Read the documentation at http://www.polarhome.com/service/manual/eggdrop/ or at /home/e/eggdrop/doc
* Create/edit one config file
* Check that ports and bot names are uniqe in eggdrop home dir.
* Change to /home/e/eggdrop (eggdrop home directory)
* Start eggdrop with your config file as ./eggdrop -m /home/m/me/my_config.conf
* Note: configure your eggdropt to use some free "direct access" port, otherwise it will not be reachabe from the internet just inside the polarhome.com realm.
* If you want to use, compile, build your own eggdrop. Polarhome suggests to use polarhome CVS mirror that is safe source for latest source code.
* It is possible to configure IPv6 bots on polarhome servers.

Or compile your own bot:

Matej Thanx, but;
I don't have shell account
Can't i use eggdrop now?
is not shell account free?

[Matej]

I'm afraid you need a shell account for eggdrop. Since you can not run programs without having some kind of terminal access.

Shell accounts are not free. Read http://www.polarhome.com/service/policy.html for more information.
