This begs a question - does anyone have good experience with SSL-enabled 
IRC servers? I'm testing UnrealIRCd right now, but I've run into some 
showstopper bugs when trying to link servers over SSL. Any other 
suggestions?

If folks are using this these services for real-time communications,

"feature" of how presence services work.

We use IRC for internal communication, and for communication with
techies of several other Dutch ISPs. Works like a charm, and the irc
server is local to us. If it's down, you pick another irc-server on
the same network.

Works for us, works for lot of people.

Greetz, Peter.
