+dircproxy is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") designed for people
+who use IRC from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish
+to remain connected and see what they missed while they were away.
+You connect to IRC through dircproxy, and it keeps you connected to
+the server, even after you detach your client from it. While you're
+detached, it logs channel and private messages as well as important
+events, and when you re-attach it'll let you know what you missed.
+
+This can be used to give you roughly the same functionality as
+using ircII and screen together, except you can use whatever IRC
+client you like, including X ones!
