Turns out the timeout from irc.gnome.org had nothing to do with switching to the alternate name "raeburn`" ... I tried emacs-28.0.91 on my main work laptop without any other IRC sessions going, and it still got timeouts from irc.gnome.org, just without the nickname-in-use error first this time. Also, this time I tried connecting to an internal company IRC server, and hit two problems: 1) First, I forgot to bring up my VPN, so internal DNS was unavailable and the server name couldn't be resolved. All that was reported in the IRC server buffer was that the connection failed, no reason given. 2) After I got the VPN up, it could connect, but the server kept closing the connection.

In the gnome log I sent earlier, it looks like all the requested capabilities were responded to, but still no "CAP END" was logged. Here, with my company server (running "ircd-ratbox-2.2.8") it seems to simply drop the connection quickly sometimes, and sometimes respond to the capabilities messages and then eventually time out.
