Sounds like a nice idea.

irssi of course :-)
It seems that the most popular text mode irc-clients are
irssi, bitchx and epic/ircii. Both irssi and bitchx offer
more features than epic/ircii. Bitchx is two times larger
than irssi.
Of course the best approach would be customisable install CDs so that
we can have irssi and vi on the install CD and not annoy the users
with a different taste.
