I have a Flyer modem and the c64 native IRC client works very well for that.
Unfortunately the Flyer is no longer produced. I have the source code for the
Flyer telnet client, and it looks to be possible to support other network
devices fairly easily. I assume the IRC client is similar as both are written
in C. I'll write the creator of the Flyer and ask him if he'd be willing to
share the code.

If you're going to go through a Linux box why would you need the Lantronix
UDS-10?
The UDS-10 by itself (or a Win box) might work if the client is compatible.
But the best way would be a 64NIC+:

Easiest way is a telnet connection to a local machine (a local Linux box
with a serial console is ideal). A Lantronics UDS10 connected to an
RS-232 interface on your Commodore will then let you log into the Linux
box and then run an IRC connection.
Native C64 IRC would be possible, but challenging.
