It seems that the most popular text mode irc-clients are |

irssi, bitchx and epic/ircii. Both irssi and bitchx offer |

more features than epic/ircii. Bitchx is two times larger |

than irssi. |

Of course the best approach would be customisable install CDs so that |

we can have irssi and vi on the install CD and not annoy the users |
