zDS is open source.

The linux version is open source, the freebsd version never surfaced (I ran into this problem previously). Here is what I was told: Find ZeroOne bot, something I still havent found.. $:-\$

If you've got the source to one, it shouldn't be hard to move it to another Unix...

Copy over the code and make adjustments, it should still work...

JavaOp can run on any system with a working JVM. IIRC, there've never been any particularly good JVMs for BSD because Sun didn't think it was important enough.

Yes, installing java on fbsd is a royal pain in the ass, including finding a distro $:-\$

It didn't seem too difficult. Although my harddrive crapped out while Java was compiling, that can barely be blamed on Java.

Alternatively, try SlackChat. It's fairly simple, and written in C for Slackware. Converting it over to FreeBSD shouldn't be terribly difficult. The code I wrote that was based on it worked with one very tiny change (changing #include <malloc.h> to <stdlib.h>, which was a good idea anyways).

That didn't make sense to me.

A bit late, but I agree that installing Java is annoying due to licensing. I have to download crap from Sun's site which requires a gui-based browser (I couldn't get it with lynx or links), which means I have to install x, firefox, etc. (*sob*).

Anyways, I verified that SlackChat works on FreeBSD. Just make sure you compile with gmake. Unfortunately, the version is out of date, so either somebody has to harass tmp to update it or you should update it yourself.
