I'm running FreeBSD 4.0 as a router using Userland-PPP with a 56k modem.
This all works fine for most web stuff. The problem is coming when I try to
access an Efnet IRC server from one of my workstations running windows. I've
got a feeling it could be a problem with the ident, but I'm not entirely
sure.

I'm sure other people have got this to work, it seems very basic ;-) Any
help would be appreciated.

Yup,
It's port 113 (auth)
Route this one or install identd on your bsd.

Fred.
ps: be careful, most of irc server check the port 1080 (socks), if you
responding, you'll be rejected.
irc server hate socks !! :-)

Not true - they hate /open/ SOCKS proxies. Just having one won't tend to
abort your connection, unless the person coding the ircd was a complete
twit.
