Erm, there was a program called 'vchat', which was compatible accross
platforms. If memory serves me correctly, it needed to be compiled with an
'altered for Linux' BSD make, rather than GNU make. The German site that
had this 'make' no longer exists. Perhaps someone has altered the source to
enable it to be compiled with GNU ? Maybe, when I have some time I will have
a look at it again and hack it myself. Again, all this is from memory so may
be incorrect. Does anyone out there use vchat for Linux ?
