Most efnet servers require that you have Ident running.. There's a couple of ways
around this..
1) Use efnet.telstra.net - from memory, you don't need ident running when you come in
off a .au host (which you do).
2) There is *one* efnet server that I know of that doesn't require ident.. - find that
server and you're set.. :)
3) Run an ident server on your gateway pc.. - just fire up mIRC, turn ident on
full-time, and minimize it to the tray - then you'll always give back an ident, and be
able to get onto any irc server you want..
