I looked through the ircII FAQ but > it doesn't say anything about authentication. Any ideas? Ensure your client will respond to ident requests. Also, it must reply to the ping correctly...from memory, I believe it should be Pong $server m##### region. That may or may not be precisely correct...been awhile since I messed with it. If you can get your hands on the code for the ircd, all your questions would be answered. The most stable ircd I have seen is at ftp.beyondirc.net it should be named beyond-2.0.tar.gz If ya need more answers, email me directly, or come onto irc and look for me there. > I've tried the numerical IP addresses and also telnet to the specific > port and same error.
