I don't recall which, this was years ago on the unix shell of a now-defunct ISP, but I think there was some mention of it.BitchX had a feature similar to screen, where you could detach your screen, logout and come back later and get back to your bitchx session. But it didn't use screen.
This was WAY pre-bitchx. I think it was ONE of the ircII's, but I'm not sure.
