Whatever port you specify like ip:port (1.2.3.4:8901) format, erc
doesn't seem to use it.  It's using the default port 6667, not some
port I define.  Erc client trying to log into someone else psybnc
listening in on 6667 port rather than my psybnc at some_defined_port.
Is there way to override this settings?

thanks
