Looking for a good CLI Instant Messenger.

I'm only interested in MSN protocol.

Although bitlbee's msn support isn't great, it is the best CLI IM that I found. So: Bitlbee

CenterIM doesn't do unicode, which might be a showstopper for you. Personally I +1 bitlbee. It's the best solution for the cli that I've found.
