I eventually gave it a try and the result is a little better but ERC
is not able to reconnect to the server automatically.

I got this:

,----
| ==> ERROR from saturn.net: Closing Link: address@hidden (Ping
|     timeout: 180 seconds)                                        [10:51]
| *** saturn.net read:errno=0

`----

Any suggestions to make ERC reconnect to the server ?

thanks
