I did notice however, that sometimes Fire will cut off lines that it is reading, in favor of reading the next incoming line... And really doesn’t like some types of punctuation, especially Smiley’s. Any way to make it say the name of the Smiley, and keep reading the lines in the order they come in and not cut off lines in progress...

1. I would like to be able to see if certain users are online on the IRC server, Can you setup a buddy in the form of: [EMAIL PROTECTED], instead of just rooms ? Or did I miss something?
Depending on how Jason get multiple servers done, it may be easier (eg, users and channels would be linked by account, rather than service).
2. Would like to be able to send standard IRC commands to the server from the command line, so I don’t have to take my hands off the keyboard, to reach for the mouse. The GUI thing is nice, but for those of us who can type out /msg nick message faster than we can reach for the mouse, and click on something, it helps with being efficient, and being able do things fast from the keyboard. There is �form of this already in the bug list on SF.
Yes, especially when you slip up and type in "/msg someone something" and that something REALLY doesn't need to be said inside the channel ;-)
3. I scanned though the stuff on the board, but didn’t see a listing for speech in IRC channels... It can read a channel, but after it’s done... All additional lines are not read as new lines come in... That’s really cool for monitoring an IRC channel, without having to watch it...
Hmm...I dunno. I don't use speech too much, in fact, I've got Fire silent as anything right now. Sometimes though I think messages may go by too quickly for speech though, if you know how IRC channels can get sometimes. However, upon testing it out in #fire, it seems that Fire ignores user preferences in IRC channel windows, as I said, I've set Fire to not use sounds in notifying me; in testing I turned on only speech for all messages. Here's the thing: it played sounds for both my sending of messages as well as receiving, but never once said a word. I hopped into a Yahoo window and it spoke the messages, but not other alert noises. I wonder if this applies to group chat windows in Yahoo and AIM as well.
