Networking :: DSL IRC server

I want to run an IRC server off a DSL-box, is there allready an easy way to do this?

I am a total n00b to this, so if there allready isnt a function out there to do it could someone suggest a good application to use for it?

Searching for "irc server" does tend to bring up a lot of trash, like i said, n00b...
