sudo apt-get install ircii
sudo apt-get install screen
sudo apt-get install ssh-server

ssh -C server -l username

(ssh -C username at server   << also works)

run screen with the command >>

screen

(hit enter until you have a prompt)

ircii
(or irssi or whatever)

x to kill terminal that ssh session is in - config your irc client to 
log so you can get the backlog
eternal happiness ensues - you can also run crazy software that restarts 
your irc client and have a suitable config to log onto the channels you 
  want to be on
