I don't know any. There is The Book of IRC though :)

sounds doable. It has been done before but not with this ircd.
ChatSpace can do it, which is a commercial software and used

you see it says "service 0", which is of course wrong, try
SERVICE SC 127.0.0.1 * 0 0 :foo

the SERVSET after it is a trap, be carefull, its has to be decimal
instead hex :)
