I will try to setup an Emacs IRC client with SASL or CertFP for that account. Searching melpa.org and emacs-tw/awesome-emacs on GitHub for irc I find: - ERC (included with Emacs) -- on #erc I was told --- ERC does not currently support SASL but it is being worked on --- ERC will support CertFP when Emacs 28 is released - rcirc (included with Emacs) -- no matches when searching for SASL or CertFP in the rcirc info document > I briefly looked for rcirc how-tos but found none.

I am going to try to get Circe connecting to Freenode using SASL or CertFP. What Emacs IRC client's are people able to successfully connect to Freenode with using SASL or CertFP? Are there other Emacs IRC clients that I should look into?
