    Irssi appears to be already in extras-devel. I haven't tried it though, as I prefer to use IRC over ssh on a remote machine.

    x-chat is in extras-devel. I don't know if it's stable, optified, etc. If you decide to try it, please share your experiences with it.

    I've been using ssh to connect to a server running irssi in screen.

    set up irssi on on a screen on your desktop or server and use X-Terminal to connect to it using SSH.

    XChat is in Extras-devel. So, it should be available for general use at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

    In the meantime, please note that Extras-devel is a playground for developers. Installing software, including XChat, from there is potentially dangerous. The software you install from Extras-devel may not work. The software you install from Extras-devel may cause other, previously wonderful, software on your phone to stop working. The software you install from Extras-devel may cause your phone to stop working in general. Heck, all your data and files may be converted into sophomoric Red Dwarf fanfic written in Loglan. With Extras-devel there are no guarantees beyond getting to keep all the jagged little pieces when something breaks.


    EDIT: timoph zoomed past as I was writing the disclaimer.

    I solved the problem of missing alt by rebinding the keys in irssi.
    (Or, to be more specific, by creating additional bindings so I can still use the original ones when on a desktop computer)

    Thanks. I have vague memory that I have seen maemo xterm with alt on the menubar. I don't like to restart my irssi session, so I think I will look around a bit more before modifying irssi config

    How about sharing your irssi configuration files or showing people how they can do this themselves?
