129 </I>><i> Hmm, interesting. Can you provide a debug log from Services
130 </I>><i>(ircservices -debug) for this behavior? If you could get a raw dump of the
131 </I>><i>client/server connection, that would help as well; for example:
133 </I>><i>$ telnet host.name
6667
135 </I>><i>USER user * * user
137 </I>><i>and send the raw IRC data that follows.
