Notes:
- 6 available windows, shared between channels and
queries
- Measured using the standard font on a typical Palm OS
device (font selection and hi-res support affect this)
- Claims compatibility, but still has problems
- Required by some IRC servers in order to
connect
- Implies correct support of all standard IRC server
commands, as well as support of any IRC commands implemented by the
server but not by the client. This includes all future additions to
IRC server commands.
- Not every IRC server uses the standard IRC port
