Subject: [9fans] what are people using for IRC these days

So, while my IRC bouncer runs on my Plan 9 server, I've been
connecting to it using Linux and Windows clients. Now that I've got my
rpi set up with a nice monitor and everything, I'm looking at IRC on
Plan 9 again.

What clients are people using these days? I remember using something
in Acme that posted a file in /srv, supported multiple channels, etc.,
but also tended to gobble up a lot of cpu time when I'd start a new
instance of the client. Server authentication would be useful for
authenticating to my bouncer too.
