I think humans are genetically prepogrammed to write irc-clients :-)

QTextStream converts to some 8-bit encoding. You can help it a bit by doing 
e.g. textsocket->setEncoding("Latin1"); just after you made it to make sure 
that you know which encoding it uses. You will run into problems when you 
have a name that doesn't fit into latin1 though.
(Does the IRC protocol specify how to handle non-ASCII characters?)

Apart from that, I think the line 
   *textsocket << (&datasend); 
should read like:
   (*texsocket) << datasend;

Not sure if the () are needed, but it never hurts.

Cheers,
Waldo
