I'm not sure what the stable servers are - at ANL, we got disconnected also
last week.
Maybe we should inform each other during the conference call what the best
servers to use are.

Currently, running identd seems to be a requirements to connect to any of
the IRC servers.
If you have a NAT/firewall box, you'll have to blow a hole in it and
forward the identd port to a machine on you local network where you run
identd (it could be any machine).
Or if you use a computer as you firewall/NAT, you can just run identd on
that one.
Hope that helps.
