"Two Indian brothers have written a program, called Whiz-Chat, which
allows anyone to chat with their Gmail friend directly from the
terminal. It is a very good alternative for those who are on a very
slow Internet connection or just don't want to get out of their
terminals."</quote>

You may already know that the brothers mentioned there, Prasanna and
Sathianarayanan run the shows at Puduvai LUG.
Good going.
