Connecting to IRC - Undernet Server

Undernet appears to be doing some sort of connection filtering.

If you open the Help->Debug Window when you attempt to connect you should
see it indicate some number of failures (to get your hostname or to get
your ident etc.). It should then prompt you to send a command to the
server, to do this you must open an IM window (to anyone) on that account
and send the command indicated.

That should, if my quick test is any indication, allow you to connect for
the next little bit.

I have no idea how long that authorization will last or what you can do to
work around this in the future (short of fixing/installing whatever is
needed to get the previously mentioned failures to go away).
