And if you're not in Europe or the US, the servers generally deny you access whether or not you're running ident. I have only successfully connected to an EFNET server once or twice. I strongly recommend irc.undernet.org, or irc.openprojects.net (it's lightly loaded). Openprojects fits in better with the geek / hacker image, I'm not sure that this is the image that lojban wants to present? John Leuner
