messenger: console based

[noir noir]

I am looking for a Yahoo! or MSN Messenger which would
work from the console.

I did a Freshmeat and Sourceforge search and came up
with libyahoo2/ ari-yahoo/ gtmsn messengers where none
of them are able to connect to the chat server. 

I am aware of the fact that MSN and Yahoo! are
blocking apps and OSs that are not authorized by them
BUT yet wondering if there's still anything left which
still works from the console mode!

I would appreciate any kind of help.

Regards,
Noir.
