I think I have found a deficiency in either ERC or its documentation, and even if not, I really need the help from someone familiar with the innards of ERC. I have set up ircproxy on a server, but I can not connect to it because I don't seem to be able to tell ERC the server username and password to use. When I try to connect to ircproxy -- by running the command `erc' and giving it the hostname of the server, the port on which ircproxy is listening, and I give it my ircproxy username and password at the "Nickname:" and "Password:" prompts -- I get the following error. ==> ERROR from irc.example.net: USER / PASS is incorrect. Connection failed! Not re-establishing connection. *** ERC terminated: connection broken by remote peer I don't think it matters that I'm using a bouncer, as this seems to be a matter of authenticating to an IRC server (as opposed to NickServ). I am using ERC Version 5.3 (GNU Emacs 23.2.1). *Is* there even a way to do this in ERC? I certainly hope so, and that I simply haven't found it. If there is *NOT* a way to to this in ERC, then I am willing to add this capability. Kind regards, Aidan Gauland
