Yep, same thing I was getting. I don't know the raw IRC commands to be able to continue on a meaningful conversation with an ircd. My next suggestion would be to get the IP addresses of the various servers and try to connect to each one in turn, by IP address, in your regular IRC client. One of them is bound to work: there are quite a few others on the network right now.
