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.

It sounds like you're describing irc7. There's also an irc7.2, which
is some cosmetic changes, plus factotum authentication. I usually
use the ircsrv from irc7.2 (which does the factotum bit, talks the
irc protocol, creates a /tmp and /srv file, and sits in the background)
and the irc from irc7 (which handles the UI, and i'm not terribly fond
of the irc7.2 cosmetic changes). Just a few days ago, in response
to someone else asking the same thing, I but my hybrid up at:
/n/sources/contrib/anothy/src/cmd/irc7a
I keep wanting to make more changes (mostly, which side of the
ircsrv/irc split timestamps happen on), but haven't gotten around to
it. If I do, they'll go there.
