excellent Qt GUI toolkit. KVirc is being written by Szymon Stefanek and
the KVIrc Development Team with the contribution of many IRC addicted
developers around the world.

irssi
Irssi is a modular IRC client for UNIX that currently has only text mode
user interface, but 80-90% of the code isn't text mode specific, so
other UIs could be created pretty easily. Also, Irssi isn't really even
IRC specific anymore, there's already working SILC and ICB modules
available.

EPIC
(Enhanced Programmable ircII Client) - Quoted as being the "Best" of the
irc clients, EPIC
allows you to do EVERYTHING that the IRC protocol (RFC 1459) allows, and
does not place any arbitrary restrictions upon you.
