[nvda] nvda and irc

Hello all:
I've been trying to use the irc channel for nvda with chatzilla, a plugin for 
firefox but everytime I send a message I just sit there, and I'm getting no 
replies. Obviously someone could be busy or just not online, but I don't think 
my message is going through. I've been pinging people so I know they're online, 
so my question is, does nvda announce when someone is sending you a message, 
for example, jaws used to report that so and so is typing a message. Also, I 
don't exactly know how irc works, I'm used to Instant messaging and I don't 
know if they're different. Does nvda report when a person signs on/off?
Thanks for any help
