I've been trying to get IRC running with Backgrounder on my jailbreak, and having no luck with Rooms or Colloquy (both return to blank screens of some sort after exiting the app). Last night I found a free app called IRChon that works amazingly with Backgrounder.

I've been putting it through its paces and I can't make this thing drop connection. I can even leave the phone locked for long periods of time and it doesn't drop. I can even toggle wifi on and off and it doesn't drop! Usually IRC connections drop at the sign of a stiff breeze, so this is pretty cool in my book.

Oh, it does audio alerts as well, and they work great in the background.

I just wish there was a paid option to kill the ads, but otherwise, it's definitely worth checking out.
