;; Because this is all I really ever use...
(setq erc-server-connect-function #'dp/erc-connect-smartly)
(defun dp/erc-connect-smartly (name buffer host port)
"Establish a connection via SSH, for home, or directly, for normal IRC,
which allows me to nicely support multiple concurrent connections."
(if (string-match "rimspace\.net$" host)
(dp/erc-via-ssh-and-netcat name buffer host port)
(open-network-stream name buffer host port)))
(defun dp/erc-via-ssh-and-netcat (name buffer host port)
"Establish a connection via ssh and netcat on the destination host"
(let ((process-connection-type nil)
(command (list "/usr/bin/ssh" host "nc" "-q" "1" host (int-to-string port))))
(apply 'start-process name buffer command)))
These days I would use the -W option to very recent OpenSSH, but this did the
job back in the day.
Obviously, season to taste for your own connection style, or write a suitable
replacement for the third function, drop the second, etc...
