/stats d

But query "d" isn't mentioned in RFC 1459.

IRCNet server irc.freenet.de shows the following answer:
--- HUB:yes MS:7
--- LQ:1024 MXC:4096 TS:60 HRD:30 HGL:900 WWD:15 ATO:90
--- KCTL:90 DCTL:1800 LDCTL: 5400 CF:2048 MCPU:10
--- H:63 N:9 U:10 R:50 T:80 C:50 P:20 K:23
--- BS:512 MXR:20 MXB:30 MXBL:1024 PY:10
--- ZL:5 CM:3 CP:9
--- 99945/3211/10/0/78/17
--- d :End of STATS report

These are the Limits configured into the ircd. T:80 says "Topic
is limited to 80 characters". U:10 is the username limit. 9
characters for nicknames (N:9).

It happens. But there won't be any standard/RFC. :-/

This doesn't solve the problem with 1 character usernames.

*!*1@*.net bans blowme!~1@fuckers.net and *!sentry21@cdslash.net
