You can find alternate ports here, maybe one of those would help? http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml Alternately, do you have SSH access to any servers that might be able to connect using irssi (http://www.irssi.org/)? A lot of us use SSH+irssi+screen (or tmux) to keep a persistent connection even when we might be traveling. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
