I don't understand if you mean extended chat as in through ICQ, or by
itself...
You could try the java version of ICQ from mirabillis, I hear it works
well and could tell you more if I'd ever gotten jdk to work on FreeBSD (what
the heck is a "green thread"?)...
Personally though, my fav UNIX ICQ client is ICQnix, it seems fully
featured. Has a chat feature, for example...
As far as full featured stand alone chats go, you might try kvIRC (I
think it's included in KDE but can be dl'ed seperately) or mIRC (16 or 32
bit) using wine (the latter works very well even with older versions of
wine) though for some reason if I run wine and xfsftt at the same time, wine
will fail to start, xfsftt crashes about two minutes later and a little
while after that X is frozen...

Does anyone here use ICQ regularly under FreeBSD and have a favourite
program to recommend?
I need something that will facilitate extended chat, not just send
messages, and I don't have enough ICQ experience or enthusiasm to go
playing with all of the ports. Well, I did start doing that and didn't
like any of them, but I'm way too hard to please. If one program is
known to be worth the effort I'll sweat it out on that one.
