icq 29533018 hit me up, but of course that was already an additional fancy layer on top of text only chat. I had it bridged in my bitlbee setup via libpidgin together with my gtalk and irc and other xmpp stuff, and had it run in irssi in a screen on my server (next to the other screen that ran mutt for my email).
and check this: to this day I consider it the best chat setup I’ve ever had.
