file 2 comes from
{https://gitlab.com/psachin/erc-sasl/-/blob/master/erc-sasl.el}. It is
the one referenced by emacswiki.

Launch emacs with:
emacs -Q
M-x load-file erc-sasl.el
M-x find-file  file 1. 
 Change user and password on funct chacrape/erc-connect
M-x eval-buffer  from file 1. 
M-x toggle-debug-on-error
M-x chacrape/erc-connect
M-x erc-join-channel "any". type hi and press Return key; *Backtrace* should appear.
