I was happily using rcirc then I ran into a SASL authentication error. I
ended up switching from rcirc to Circe. I could help with testing
rcirc's SASL authentication if someone works on it.

This is a thread I started about rcirc and do SASL authentication.

jess one of the staff volunteer (then at Freenode) offered to help
explain SASL to to a rcirc developer.
