The "new standard" client, IRC II, can be ftp'ed from
rvw2.hhs.ri.cmu.edu and cs.bu.edu, among other locations.
For those whose systems administrators have still not caught up with
RFC 1123 by performing name-to-address resolution automatically,
rvw2.hhs.ri.cmu.edu is 128.2.104.65, and
cs.bu.edu is 128.197.10.1 (or 128.197.2.1).
And yell at your admins.
