Все, кто уже узнал преимущества jabber‘a и как следствие отказался от icq, используют один из многочисленных клиентов, c GUI интерфейсом. Но наверняка мало кто использует консольный jabber клиент на FreeBSD, а ведь гиковски получается 
Поэтому будем ставить mcabber-Small Jabber console client.
из под root’а ставим самого клиента:
cd /usr/ports/net-im/mcabber
make install clean
rehash
теперь выходим из root’a, заходим под обычным пользователем, ибо именно в домашней директории этого пользователя и будем создавать конфигурационный файл для работы установленного клиента.
cd ~
mkdir .mcabber
ee .mcabber/mcabberrc

# - Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
# - Empty lines and lines beginning with a '#' are ignored.
# The jid will be the following: username@server
# If your jid’s domain name is different from the server name,
# you can specify your complete jid as username.

# If password is not given, it will be interactively asked for.
# If port is not given, default Jabber port will be used.

В качестве минимальной настроки в стандартном конфиге (строки выше) нужно исправить строки
set username = yourusername
set password = yourpassword
set server = your.jabber.server
вставив, конечно, свой логин, пароль и днс имя jabber сервера соответственно. Не забудьте раскоментировать строчку set password (нужно убрать символ # в начале строчки). Конфигурационный файл не очень сложен, стандартные вещи видны явным образом, например можно изменить порт для подключения к серверу (со стороны сервера должна быть такая возможность — подключаться клиентам на другой, нестандартный порт), set ssl = 0 —отключена сертификация; настройки прокси, на случай, если вы выходите в интернет именно через proxy-сервер.
Клиент представляет из себя окно, разбитое на 4-е части:
слева — контакты
справа — окно чата
ниже — вывод системных сообщений
и самая нижняя часть — поле ввода сообщени и команд.
Чтобы отправить сообщение собеседнику из списка, необходимо выбрать этого собеседника, для этого жмём PageUp/PageDown передвигаясь по ростеру
в самом нижнем поле выполнить:
/msay begin
текст_сообщения
/msay send
После этого текст «текст_сообщения» будет передан выделенному пользователю.
Теперь наиболее актуальные команды:
/msay begin —Включить многострочный режим ‘multi-line mode’
/msay verbatim —Войти в режим стенограммы многострочного сообщения
/msay send —Послать текущее многострочное сообщение текущему пользователю
/msay send_to jid —Послать текущее многострочное сообщение определенному «jid»
/msay abort —Выйти из режима многострочного сообщения не отправляя его
/room join [room [nick [pass]]] —подключиться к конференции
/room leave [message] —выйти из конференции
/roster unread_next —перейти к следующему непрочитанному сообщению (горячая кнопка Ctrl+Q)
Так же имеются следующие горячие кнопки:
Esc Отключает режим чата
Ctrl-a Перемещает к началу набранной строки
Ctrl-e Перемещает в конец набранной строки
Ctrl-l Принудительная очистка
Up/Down Перемещает в истории введенных команд\сообщений
Tab Дополнить вводимое слово в командной строке
Ctrl-g Отменить сообщение
Ctrl-c Отменить многострочное сообщение
Ctrl-d Отправить\прервать многострочное сообщение
Ctrl-u Удалить текст с начала строки до позиции курсора
Ctrl-k Удалить текст с позиции курсора до конца строки
Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n Прокрутить вверх\вниз половину экрана чата (конференции)
Ctrl-Left Переместить курсор к началу текущего или следующего слова word
Ctrl-Right Переместить курсор к концу текущего или следующего слова word
Ctrl-w Вернуть удаленное слово
Mcabber так же работает на GNU/Linux, NetBSD, Mac OS X и Cygwin, поэтому можете использовать его на своей любимой операционной системе. Дерзайте!
