have an IRC server and a jabber server (ejabberd) running 
here and got the bugs worked out so can connect to either 
locally from gaim. Have connected to both an IRC server and 
jabber server in the outside world. Loaded the irc_conntrack 
module, but didn't look to see if it was required.

One thing that confused me was the username and passwd that 
you needed on the client. I assumed you needed an account on 
a server. It seems that these are just required to run the 
program and that the server doesn't care who you are.

I now find my son doesn't know which server his friends are 
connecting to, so I've sent him off to find out. Probably 
his friends are using proprietary clients/protocols and 
connecting to MSN/AOL or whatever.
