Open Stack

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but it's really not obvious, hence this
email.

I tried just "/connect chat.freenode.net" and then "/msg nickserv ..." a
few times. I always got dumped and it said "You need to identify via SASL
to use this server". Something like that.

If I don't connect first, then I just get "Not connected to server" when I
try to /msg nickserv
