You can set up private channels practically anywhere – Freenode is popular among geeks; then there's Quakenet, foonetic, OFTC, IRCnet, DALnet, EFnet, and so on, as well as a whole ton of tiny networks. If you want to run your own server, I'd recommend Charybdis ircd, although UnrealIRCd is not bad either. For the IRC services (NickServ, ChanServ, etc), use Atheme. However, IRC does not have built-in support for voice chat, regardless of which ircd you choose. Some IRC clients claim to support it (e.g. KVIrc), but it's always implemented client-side, and it usually works only between two users... -- Mantas Mikulėnas
