IRC SASL Auth borked over Sprint 4G

Wed Oct 16 16:06:24 UTC 2013

Both WiMax and LTE, as far as I can tell, block SASL auth somehow, such that
while tethered through my Galaxy S4 (and my old Evo 4G), I can't log into
Freenode.

Does anyone here know why, or of a workaround?

This is -- According To Google -- a well known, pervasive problem.
