That is outside the scope of this thread, if you need a tutorial on how to use Freenode's IRC services, go to Google.

Simple answer, just join it, and it will be auto-created, and you will get ops.
A useful source of help is the chanserv and nickserv help commands.  (/msg chanserv help)

I believe some clients also offer abbreviated versions of /msg ChanServ and /msg NickServ. /cs and /ns, at least in Colloquy.

Many servers have those on their end as well. Looks to me like freenode does.

[Syntac]

They don't seem to work with Irssi, though.

/alias cs ^msg chanserv $*
etc

Just doing that can break security on crappy networks (imagine someone is able to get on with the nick 'chanserv', or you're on a network that has no chanserv and without thinking type /cs login mysekretpasswoid...)

Syntac, find yourself dispatch.pl - a script which takes any commands not recognized by irssi and feeds them through to the server directly.  Otherwise, if you type a /command and get an error from irssi, prefix it with 'quote'; ie, '/quote cs help' instead of '/cs help'.

Thanks for the tip. Although I primarily use Colloquy, so meh.
