[Cialug] irc proxy

[Jeff Chapin]

I have been known to use Finch, the text based libpurple application.
libpurple is the back end for pidgin, and thus pretty much what ever pidgin
supports, there is a text version of it. It even is able to use your .purple
config files from pidgin, and import your settigns, screen names, and saved
passwords (if you use them).
