I'm currently testing EIRC (http://eirc.sourceforge.net) it has almost
all features I wanted and can be connected thru IRC client or WWW
browser.
It's also first Java software to work better with Linux then M$
windblows. So far, it doesn't work with IE5.5 at all.
By now I don't want to block IRC clients from outside, so proxy won't be
needed.
