sim

Command-line IRC and bitlbee IM client (org.dyndns.hvkls.sim)

sim is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and bitlbee Instant Messaging (IM) client based on sic; the incuded bash script csim can colorize and modify sim output.

sic reads commands from standard input and prints all server output to standard output. It multiplexes also all channel traffic into one output, that you don’t have to switch different channel buffers, that’s actually
a feature.
