Re: [Fire-talk] Re: IRC topic?

[Greg L. <gli...@so...>]

I for one would be very interested in more robust IRC support. I'm so proud
of Fire and all that it accomplishes, but I've recently been working with a
lot of those peecee folk, and they use Trillian for everything. I'm still
stuck opening an IRC client to use irc, as even joining a room on
sorcery.net is impossible with Fire. Seems the authentication just isn't up
to snuff or something.

I'd be happy to feed any information I can to my experiences if anyone is
interested.

Thanks!
