MRC's protocol is incredibly poor quality. i would recommend using an IRC door like MannIRC or the one in Synchronet and pointing it at irc.synchro.net

iirc MRC sends all the private messages to absolutely everyone and the client decides to show them or not. so a custom client could just watch everything everyone says.
