Can we get over this now ?  You both misread the OP if I'm not mistaken.
He specifically wrote :

"Great, especially since we are all Solaris or Cisco kids and nothing to do 
with Microsoft based half compliant IRC stuff."

Thereby clearly implying that he and his other staff WEREN'T using mIrc at 
all.  His management only _assumed_ they were, and therefore forbid irc.
Please, read more carefully...
