	be useful.  It also serves as a specification of my own extensions to IRC.

The following is an excerpt from the FAQ for devil IRCd which was never released:

What is ghostx and why am i getting messages in my channels telling me users are dropping?

	GHOSTX is a technology that gives a grace period to users that disconnect immaturely
	(e.g. not with /quit).  Users that quit are given up to ping_frequency seconds (for
	their class) to reconnect to any server with the same nickname and IP.  If a client
	connects to any server on the network with the same IP and the same nickname, they will
	resume exactly where they left off, in all of their channels, with all their modes, etc.

Introduction

	This is my answer to the problem of hundreds of tiny IRC networks that want to peer
	but never get anywhere.  Hopefully it may also someday become a viable solution to the
	problem of having more than one IRC network.  (imagine being on EFnet and being able to
	/join #DALnet:DAL !!)
