I'm sorry if I seemed to be insisting that.

I actually feel rather foolish now that I have used Wireshark to look
at the packets sent by ERC to find that it does, indeed, send the
password parameter as the PASS parameter to the IRC server.

I suppose I at least learned from Julien Danjou that ERC *does* work
with bouncers (or at least ZNC).

Anyway, consider this annoying git out of your hair.

Kind regards,
