217 Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC). This enables users to send
218 files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
219 of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
220 and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
221 using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
222 chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or

668 This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
669 block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this
670 problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
671 firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
672 packets:

674 2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
675 3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.
