I would use SCID more than SCON say your connected to a network called BOBIRC then BILLIRC the SCON for BILLIRC is 2 and the SCID is likely to be 2 but disconnec from BOBIRC and the scon for BILLIRC changes to 1on you, but the scid stays the same, this lets you send commands to a pre identified network (and connection to said network in case you got more than one) without worrying that its going to change becuase of connections or disconnections.
