 I download IRC-5 from ASLO to run on my XO 1.5 (Build 203). It sat trying
 to "join" but never joined. There was no feedback to the user and no
 indication in the log file as to what the problem might be. At the same
 time, I was able to connect o IRC with another computer, so it was not a
 connectivity issue.

 Could we provide better feedback to the user? Perhaps a message triggered
 by a timeout?
