alright gang, i'm so close to having this application up & running...

-problem, is that when you connect via IRC the server will request some ident information via port 113 (someone correct me if i'm wrong) ... the idea is that (i think) your IRC Client will actually listen/serve on port 113 to any request(s) the IRC Server makes...

-the whole idea of the application is to allow IRC via other ports (23,80,etc...) and bounce them to 6667 or whatever... i'm having a tricky time finding info on this ident/113 thing... if anyone that runs an IRC server could shed some light on this subject i'd be very gratefull...

-the basic idea is to emulate the ident requests...
