ngIRCd is free software and published under the
terms of the GNU General Public License.
But services acting as a "regular server" are supported, either using the IRC
protocol defined in RFC 1459 or RFC 2812.
-Services have been tested using "IRC Services" version 5.x by Andrew Church,
-homepage: <http://www.ircservices.za.net/>. This document describes setting up
-ngIRCd and these services.
+Support for Services has been tested using "IRC Services" version 5.x by
+Andrew Church (<http://achurch.org/services/>), Anope 1.9 using a
+preliminary protocol module for ngIRCd (<http://www.anope.org/>), and
+Atheme 7.0.2 or later.
+
+This document describes setting up ngIRCd and these services.

+Setting up Anope 1.9.x
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Anope 1.9.4 (and above) can be used with ngIRCd using a preliminary "ngircd"
+protocol module contained in our contrib/Anope/ directory. Please see the
+file contrib/Anope/README for installation instructions!
+
+After patching and installing Anope, at least the following configuration
+variables have to be adjusted in data/services.conf, in addition to all the
+settings marked as required:
+
+ uplink
+ {
+ host = "server.irc.net"
+ port = 6667
+ password = "123abc"
+ }
+
+ serverinfo
+ {
+ name = "services.irc.net"
+ type = "ngircd"
+ }
+
+

+Setting up Atheme 7.0.2 or later
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+

+
+loadmodule "modules/protocol/ngircd";
+
+uplink "server.irc.net" {
+ password = "123abc";
