ident?

Ok, I have upgraded to 7.1 and KDE 2. I want to use an irc cleint, and on channels in EFnet. I used to have a few servers that didnt ask for ident, but they seem to be disappearing. How do I get this to work in 7.1? In 6.3 ident was there but I couldnt get it to work. I don't see in in 7.1.
