XChat
 XChat is an
Internet
Relay Chat (IRC) chat
program. It allows you to join multiple IRC channels (chat rooms) at
the same time, talk publicly, private one-on-one conversations etc. It
can also be used to transfer files with other users.
It has a choice of a tabbed or tree interface, support for
multiple servers, and a high level of configurability. Both command
line and graphical versions are available, although use of the
graphical version far outweighs use of the command line version.
Features include:
- CTCP - Client-To-Client Protocol is a special type of
communication between Internet Relay Chat (IRC) clients
- DCC file transfers
- Plugin system for various languages (including C, C++, Perl,
Python,
Tcl and Ruby)
- Translations for a number of languages
