      This is an extremely old bug that, unfortunately, still affects a
lot of SOHO routers.  You can work around it, simply, by connecting to
IRC on a port other than 6667.  AnthroChat listens on ports 6667, 7000,
7667 and on ports 6601 and 6697 for SSL.  You can get a list of
listeners by using the /stats P  command.

      Of course, the best way to fix it is to update your router's
firmware or get a new router that is known to not have the bug, but
sometimes that isn't feasible.
