% cd /usr/ports/net-im/finch; make install clean
The above installs finch. It is an ncurses based instant messaging client, part of the pidgin suite. Though it can be a little tough at the beginning, it is a good alternative if you do not have a graphical interface. Below I show two screenshots. Use Alt-w to move between windows.


Enjoy!
