Roxirc works on ce 3 also, as tfgbd had it running on a jornada. It's not for the faint of heart.
(you need to manually edit a few config files to adjust some settings, like nick, default server etc
) It's a quick stab at modding a tcl/tk app to work on win ce. I know very little tcl/tk, but enough of it made sense for me to get it working. It's very full featured, with colors, logging, dcc and boatloads of standard ircII commands.
DCC transfers are now set to appear on the Desktop for easy finding.
If you want to try it out you will need eTcl installed. I choose full, yet it appears to run with the compact version as well. Choose the ppc2000/2002 version even if on a ce.net device. Download eTcl here.

Now get my roxirc package here.

Unzip the file to main memory to \ You should now have a .roxirc dir. Yes the . before roxirc is important.
Now look at the config files. Most notably 'config' to adjust nickname, window size, channels etc. Also see 'startup' for auto login etc.
The exectuable is in \.roxirc\bin and logs to \.roxirc\logs.
For ce.net devices just start eTcl console and choose 'associate' to have it be the default .tcl handler. You will never need to run eTcl again after this.
For ce3 devices the 'associate' cant be done, and you'll have to run eTcl, then run roxirc.tcl.
Known bugs. Sometimes the etcl menu pops up when you first start roxirc. Just minimize roxirc and restore it for that annoyance to go away. Also supports tabbed single window interface, but for whatever reason it seems be a hardcoded fixed 600x350 which is no good on a 640x240 device. But on devices with a larger screen you can try it by using this command. /set single 1 and restart roxirc. To go back to seperate window mode issue /set single 0 and restart roxirc.
Again for some people it may be too much, but i think its well worth it for a free full featured irc client.
It probably has some bugs, and maybe my code modding isnt done 'the right way'. Who knows.
The point is that it works.
Cheers.
