   I have problems connecting to irc , not sure if the problem is with your irc server transport or my lack of experience with jabber. Is someone willing to write this irc howto? Thanks.

   Is there a way to specify irc-server connection port?
   To utilize utf encoding I’m in need to connect via port 7777 – what should I specify to proceed?

     IRC transport also works via Jabber connection which means that you use IRC through your Jabber client.

     Only the PROXY65 file transfer proxy service has a different port, which in fact is 7777.

       Hi there and thanks for the reply.
       Though I still have an issue.
       Have a look:
       client – jabber server – transport – irc server
       Believe me or not, encoding of messages between transport on hot-chilli side and irc server may depend on irc server port – it’s irc server configuration. In my case port 7777 on irc side is configured to deal with utf encoding (and that is the encoding I want, due to local configuration and jabber utf-based protocol), and 7770 – with cp1251 cyrillic.
       So, paraphrasing the question, how can I force jabber irc transport on hot-chilli side to connect to some irc server on particular port?
       I guess it’s impossible – security reason and blah-blah-blah, but I decided to double-check.

       Sorry for a shred of sarcasm in my ‘believe me or not’, any info is appreciated.
       Have a great time, Roi.

         tralev, I will forward your question to the maintainer(s) of Spectrum. I am not aware of any chance to configure this on the transport service. Or set this on the user side.

   So here’s a dumb question: is there any way to configure the IRC transport to, say, keep me connected to IRC as long as I’m logged in to my Gtalk? The way it works with the Facebook Chat transport?

   I would love to be constantly connected to IRC via the Gtalk app on my Android phone.

     Hi Michael,

     I do not represent chilli side.
     Have a look: to be connected to irc via chilli jabber – your android jabber client have to support jabber transport feature.
     Mine droid device is 2.2 android and it does not support jabber transport configuration natively. Do not know anything about modern devices.
     Anyway, I believe you can easily find gtalk analog on the market. If that application is capable to make use of jabber transport – consider yourself irc-online. But user-experience of those 3d party tools is usually rather poor. So, if you are a bit of a geek-type – find a nice jabber app on the market and connect to irc utilizing chilli server, if not – I would recommend to look for a separate irc application with gtalk status support.
