- Well, a lot of the consultants do not have any clues, in my experience.

- Switch to a closer server, like penfold.ece.uiuc.edu
- (ip#128.174.114.68). I think the server is in globalv settings or
- something like that. Not sure, it's been a while. That, and the entire
- way that rxirc is programmed is screwed up, because of the nature of
- CMS.
-
- (that, and UICVM is flakier than most. :( get to learn <esc>-, IPL
- CMS... you'll use it a lot to restart your crashed session.)
-
- Have fun with UICVM... I sure didn't. (and don't bother with the ACM
- accounts. Caleb Drake is an idiot. I got my account suspended for
- IRCing.)
