there is no such thing as "the best …" but softwares that fit your needs. I use an IRC client * from a long running tmux pane somewhere in a server (so I can backlog without the need of a bouncer) * that can be scripted with plugin and I don't mind the state of the codebase so I use weechat. If you're on gnome: then you can give polari a chance: it's a multiprotocol IM client. I also used ii to create very simple chat bots with an ability to relay some of my messages: irc channels are just a pair of fifo: in and out. I used irssi in the past. works well but the TUI isn't as good as weechat's one. I never tested the others. regards -- Marc Chantreux Pôle CESAR (Calcul et services avancés à la recherche) Université de Strasbourg 14 rue René Descartes, BP 80010, 67084 STRASBOURG CEDEX 03.68.85.60.79
