Is there an IRC proxy that can buffer the traffic for him? That

Actually there are quite a few:

More than we really need, truly. And, most of them work *very* poorly.

http://gotbnc.com/
http://druglord.freelsd.org/ezbounce/
http://muh.sourceforge.net/
http://www.ircproxy.night-light.net/

Don't forget psybnc, muh, and irssi-proxy. irssi-proxy is probably the best one with which I've had experience. It Just Works(tm) and does so quite well, I might add.

I played with BNC a while ago when I changed locations a lot (and thought that I'd die if I missed some IRC conversation - I've since learned that missing it makes me much healthier ;), and it worked as advertised.

I never got bnc to work reliably. Oft it would just stop working altogether, or stop allowing reattachments ... it's junk as far as I'm concerned.

Really -- irssi-proxy is the way to go. Let me know if you want some tips with configuration.


talk to you later,
