Jtalk is a Jabber client that provides an interface somewhat similar to the historic Unix Talk system. Jtalk is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.
Note: jtalk is not a full-featured Jabber client. It focuses only on the presence and messages. To handle your rooster, undate your information, create accounts and so on, you need another, more complete, Jabber client.
