You don't need SASL to use freenode. It does simplify identifying/login, but it's not compulsory, unless you want to use Tor. Other than that, you can use any client and issue: /msg nickserv identify <password> And that will identify you with services (assuming you want to register a nick). I prefer irssi, personally. It's stable and has been going for donkey's years. -- Dave
