log on/off notices

[Mark Schneider]

If i am understanding you correctly, i think what you are looking for
is in the Buddy State Notification plugin.  This can handle away,
idle, and sign on/off notifications within the IM window.  Not sure
about direct connect.  You can find this under the Tools->Plugins
menu.
