Thank you Paul. Encouraged by your success I just gave it a go and 
managed to get it to work. Just needed to add a real name and user name. 
If only the server had said so instead of saying I had insufficient user 
parameters. Anyhoo, connected, said "Hello" to myself and disconnected.

IRC doesn't seem to be all its cracked up to be.

Cancel the talk :)

So, echoing Guy's Q, does anyone use it?
