Actually, my first thought here is that you should try more than one server on the network, see if you can get it set for a round-robin of servers when you disconnect, then it'll have a lot higher chance of getting you back online. I don't know the script you're using, but it should be possible to alter it if you've not already got the ability in there. The other possibility is that you've got a connection as bad as mine - where any time the adsl modem loses sync it finds it next to impossible to regain it on it's own, and you've got the thing set to "dial on demand" style - so quitting amirc tells miami (or whatever you use) to go offline, then when it redials it gets everything back again. If that's the case then you could do something like me and have a ping script set o reconnect me if it does lose connection (I ping the first hop out from me) - if it's fast enough to get offline and back on then absolutely nothing is lost and everything carries on uninterrupted apart from the short period of no connection.
