    16. 

  16. It's written from scratch and is not based upon the original IRCd like
    17. 

  17. many others. It is easy to configure, supports server links (even with
    18. 

  18. original ircd's) and runs on hosts with changing IP addresses (such as

  19. dial-in networks).

  22. Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.

    24. 

  24. As ngIRCd relies on UNIX standards and uses GNU automake and GNU autoconf
    25. 

  25. there are good chances that it also supports other UNIX-based operating
    26. 

  26. systems as well.
