I'm not sure they are too keen on us using IRC anyways and I know the guys 
who run it all quite well.  They are rather busy, I'd rather not hassle 
them.  The simplest way for me to connect is to find a server open on that 
port rather than fiddling around with connecting to other servers 
etc.  Also I use windows on the box that connects to the web, so it is mIRC 
or nothing...

No external machine to connect to.  No idea of whether or not there is a 
SSH cli for ms xp.

I'll just trawl thru the list of servers and see if I get lucky.  If not 
I'll email the freenode admins.

Cheers

Matt
