I think it makes sense to list all the ports together, so it's immediately
obvious which ones are plain text and which are SSL, and for easy copy & paste.
I don't really like the fact it leaves the SSL ones duplicated in the SSL
section right below, though - if that irks others, maybe it could be re-worded
to e.g. "offers SSL access on the SSL ports noted above" or something.
ERC, HexChat, Smuxi, Quassel or mIRC.
You can connect to freenode by pointing your IRC client at `chat.freenode.net`
-on ports 6665-6667 and 8000-8002.
+on ports 6665-6667 and 8000-8002 for plain-text connections, or ports 6697, 7000
+and 7070 for SSL-encrypted connections.
