The Com-Unit in my opinion could be alot better than it is. at this point the java irc client it uses jpilot only allows the user to be on 1 channel at a time, now most people i know who go on IRC need to be in more than 1 channel at a time.
I know everyone in their right mind should just use mirc to get on, but if your away from home, and on a public computer, u can't install such software to check up on IRC.
My Suggestion to PA Crew is to change the Com-Unit java client to one that supports more than 1 channel at at time, such as
http://eirc.sourceforge.net
that is a free java client, which i've personally found to be a much better java IRC client than Jpilot
