Is the Linux machine configured as a firewall? If so, this should still
work. Otherwise, you have to configure the Linux machine to pass on ident
requests to the machines inside the firewall. Or configure your ISDN
router to pass on the ident requests to the correct IP on your local
network. Another thing that may work is to set your router to reject
ident requests. (Reject, not deny!) That will tell the IRC server that
your system doesn't accept connections on port 113. So far, it works for
me.
