By the command line tools are a bit more protocol specific than the GUI tools, if you can tell use what IM service you want to you we can point you to a Linux based CLI IM client for the protocol.
Anyway, I belive you are talking about a cli IM as http://ojnk.sourceforge.net/
There's plenty of them, just check the internet (maybe you'd like the pidgin cli version...)
Best wishes,
Michael

Hope this help
If you like working in the console, you should also check out mplayer (support for framebuffer video playback), dvtm (an amazing terminal window manager) and fbida (framebuffer image viewer).
I used that for some time. To even go further you can combine all that with the use of Screen
Thanks
There used to be a command called "talk", not sure if it is still there.
