CLI alternative to FINCH for multi instant messaging ?

Hello, For Debian I would like to find an CLI alternative to FINCH for multi instant messaging. It seems that there is none. By chance, would you know any?
gg says not found either

thank you

centerim or install bitlbee as a local IRC <-> XMPP/Jabber (including Google Talk), MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ, Twitter gateway and then use one of the many IRC clients.

irssi + bitlbee nothing beats it.

That is also my personal favourite combination as well!

wow

centerim is so great. I would like to ask you how to enable the sound (aplay ~/mysound.wav) when you get an incoming msg / outcoming? thanks

I haven't actually used centerim for at least 7 years (back when it was called centericq) so I really wouldn't know!

If you can't find anything in the documentation you might try joining their irc channel on freenode or they have a mailing list.

Centerim is so cool, look @ : http://www.junauza.com/2009/06/cente...ss-reader.html

I have found a way here: http://blog.yjl.im/2009/10/notificat...-centerim.html

Code:

%action Notify When Online
event msg
proto all
status online
options stdin
%exec
msg=$(cat)
act_id=$(xprop -root | grep "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW)"| cut -d ' ' -f 5)
xprop -id $act_id | grep centerim &>/dev/null
if [[ $? > 0 ]]; then
    aplay -qN /usr/share/centerim/msg.wav
    notify-send "$msg"
fi

%action Notify When Not Busy
event msg
proto all
# dnd na invisible
status away ffc
options stdin
%exec
msg=$(cat)
aplay -qN /usr/share/centerim/msg.wav
notify-send "$msg"

would you know what is the server for OSCAR and AIM / ICQ that works with centerim?

this is not working into centerim

AIM TOC. Hostname: toc.oscar.aol.com Port: 9898

I have tried : good news is that ICQ works with Pidgin 2.9.0 (libpurple 2.9.0) - I use the default settings:
- Server: slogin.icq.com
- Port: 5190
- Use encyption if avaiable
- Use ClientLogin

but it does not work either
