11:30 AM EDT 		I've solved the irc problem for myself by simply using "screen" to hold one or more irc sessions. It works like this:

On one system (example.com) do this:

  screen
  irssi (irc setup parameters)
Then from any other system do this:

  ssh me@example.com
  screen -raAd
That's it. Easy, and it works from any number of login points. I leave a screen session running on my home server and then access that session from office, mobile, ... Don't worry about forgetting to "log out" of the screen terminal, the "screen -raAd" automatically terminates any other unused connections.
