Re: IRC SASL Auth borked over Sprint 4G

We had an IBM Proventia IPS system on one network that I was responsible for. Despite our best configuration efforts it insisted on sending TCP resets to both sides with the counterparties IP address in the source whenever we tried SASL. I never did get a firm answer as to why. Perhaps it's a similar issue?

Both WiMax and LTE, as far as I can tell, block SASL auth somehow, such that while tethered through my Galaxy S4 (and my old Evo 4G), I can't log into

Does anyone here know why, or of a workaround?

This is -- According To Google -- a well known, pervasive problem.
