IRC client

Hi all,

  I'm currently experimenting with LAN networking and have taken 
curiosity in attempting to build a simple IRC client.

  Can someone give me a simple example of establishing a client 
connection to an IRC server? Or perhaps there is already an IRC 
compatible client in the archives already and I've overlooked it.

  I've tried implementing a client connection, using eutcp4u, and it 
just hangs waiting for connection. I would assume I should be able to 
create a standard tcp connection, and from there I would send my numeric 
commands to verify my connection as an IRC client, and to logon, but I 
can't even get that far. I should note that I was attempting my client 
connection using Ray's client prog included with eutcp4u.

  Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing :P So any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

  I have the IRC RFC's, but it doesn't describe any specific procedures 
for creating a connection, other than required logon commands and how 
they are processed.

  It's probably something very simple, or maybe I don't have my network 
set correctly. Though I'm able to create a connection using the eutcp4u 
client and server.

  Maybe someone can direct me to some more useful documentation, other 
than the IRC RFC protocol docs.

TIA
Chris
