Authenticating with undernet.org's X service

[Eion Robb]

Hi again,

Glad you got it going :)

The "enable keepalives" option is from a different plugin that lets you
turn off keepalives that are normally forced on in different protocol
plugins, to deal with unusual or problematic irc and XMPP servers. You
probably wouldnt normally need it :)

Cheers,
Eion
