While the majority of SMS members make use of some type of instant messaging software, this is generally not our preferred method of online contact. Your best bet is to investigate one of the other online options presented here.

SMS makes use of a series of channels on the GameSurge IRC network (irc.gamesurge.net or visit GameSurge's web site for a list of mirrors, whichever works best for you). Our main channel is #sms. Other channels exist, and follow this naming convention: #sms<company><platoon>. For example, the channel for Bravo Company, 3rd Platoon (B/3) would be #smsb3.

Note that some SMS channels may be password-protected at times. If SMS is conducting operations in one of its sub-channels, non-members may be asked to leave. Inappropriate behavior will result in the applicable individual(s) being banned. We can't help you if you don't know how to connect to IRC, but a good source of information (and software) is the mIRC Homepage.

SMS operates several game servers, most of which are listed below. Servers may be password-protected at times for our private use. Inappropriate behavior will result in the applicable individual(s) being banned.

Occasionally we might list a server that is not operated by SMS members but is still a good place to find us. If ownership of a server is in question, be sure to review that server's Message of the Day (MOTD) once you connect to it.

Webpages for individual SMS units exist on external sites, but this one -- www.steelmaelstrom.com -- is our official home and your best place for SMS news.
