I looked through the ircII FAQ but it doesn't say anything about authentication. Any ideas? I've tried the numerical IP addresses and also telnet to the specific port and same error. Is there anything I am missing? Do I need to specifically ask each site to allow us access or is there a misconfiguration on our part? PS: We're trying to access undernet. Thanks, Tim
