I'm running mannirc on my 16 bit bbs - https://www.randm.ca/bbs/mannirc/ connecting to my local/external unreal IRC server
I had that running.  I have MIRC running on my Renegade setup, via a rlogion  to a mystic setup that has ONE command and that is to load the MIRC mpl.  I  just don't like the idea of having another bbs there just to run a "door" ... 
Don't get me wrong, it works .... but I'd rather it be a door and not a crazy  setup.
