Isn't it a server more reliable in general? I'm also trying hard to finally have this kind of separation working, and until now I was able to configure bitlbee with erc very nicely. I think I will have different instances *but* with the same configuration. I could just use a different desktop file for the other instane and everything would work great. Now I have for example --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun bitlbee () "connect to bitlbee" (interactive) (select-frame (make-frame)) (erc :server "localhost" :port "6667" :nick "andrea")) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
