Ideally you should be able to use one of the SOCKS proxies for this. I hate to say this, but when using M$ Windows, I believe that all of the TCP connections out are SOCKSified with Java - so long as you have SOCKS configured via Internet Exploder. I haven't been able to find an easy to do this for Un*x yet. The best bet is to find a SOCKSified IRC client for Solaris. Darren
