+# Configuration concepts++If you use a client that supports bouncers the configuration is+similar to any IRC server, only that you connect to the bouncer and+pass instructions to what IRC server you want it to connect you to.++For example, you are "chatter" and you want to connect to+irc.libera.chat and as a bouncer you use chat.sr.ht -- your+configuration is, `server: chat.sr.ht`, `user-name:+chatter/irc.libera.chat`.++# Bouncer commands++Communication with the bouncer is via commands such as `/msg+BouncerServ help network`, output handling depends on the client.++For example, in *rirc* this will open a new chat room buffer. If you+are using chat.sr.ht as a bouncer then look for buffer named+*BouncerServ@chat.sr.ht*. Commands might be entered from any chat+room, but the result is always in the devoted bouncer buffer.+# catgirl
catgirl doesn't implement cap-3.2, so many capabilities will be disabled.
