Hi!
I had a little look around and found a couple of usefull IRC related
documents, there's the specs at:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1459.html
And a page about using Telnet to access IRC at:
http://www.daemonnews.org/199907/irchack.html
I tried using telnet and it works fine, you need to also send the:
NICK username
command after the USER command though (at least on irc.sorcery.net
where I tried it)

Anyway, if it can be accessed by telnet then it shouldn't be to hard
to access by euphoria :)
