I'm sorry if I seemed to be insisting that. I only meant that when I
tried, I got the error...
==> ERROR from irc.example.net: USER / PASS is incorrect.
You asked me why I thought that the password argument to `erc' is not
used as the PASS to the IRC server, so I told you.
In your message to me, you said...

I have looked at the ERC source code, but didn't figure out much since
I am not very familiar with the IRC protocol, so I am grateful that
you pointed this out.
I must admit that I feel rather foolish now that I have used Wireshark
to look at the packets sent by ERC to find that it does, indeed, send
the password parameter as the PASS to the server. It really does seem
to be a problem at the other end (the bouncer).
I suppose it's not a complete loss since I learned from Julien Danjou
that ERC *does* work with bouncers (or at least ZNC).
Anyway, consider this annoying idiot out of your hair.
Kind regards,
Aidan Gauland
