Searching for multi-account jabber client

Hi!
I'm looking for multi-account jabber client. I've tried mcabber, freetalk and cjc but they support just one account.
Finch supports many protocols and it's multi-account, but not very suitable to terminal.
thx

Re: Searching for multi-account jabber client

Are you asking for CLI apps only?  In either case, I'd suggest you take a look at bitlbee.

yes, only CLI apps
Bitlbee isn't only IRC?

Re: Searching for multi-account jabber client

I looked deeper to bitlbee. I found it's just gateway to protocols such a jabber/icq/... However, it isn't client so I need another client? Am I wrong?

Re: Searching for multi-account jabber client

Thats correct, you can use it with any irc client available...

EDIT: ah, just looked at CenterIM and it seems it can just have one jabber account at a time

iirc that works just fine, you have to answer "yes" if somone wants to be authorized..

Re: Searching for multi-account jabber client

bitlbee seems to be very cool Is possible to add groups (contact groups in roster) to irssi or weechat (or another irc client)?
