BitlBee
BitlBee brings IM (instant messaging) to IRC clients and supports multiple IM networks/protocols including XMPP/Jabber.
Connecting
BitlBee users can connect a KodeNet Jabber ID using a preferred IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client. The described steps use the irssi client, but the same commands apply to any other IRC clients. With BitlBee it looks like you're connecting to an IRC server, only you're not. Instead, BitlBee will only be listening on localhost and the standard IRC port 6667.
