Okay, I managed to bring ERC + BitlBee up and running.  While it's
much better than mICQ or Licq (from within Emacs), there are still
some annoying things, in particular:

* There is no permanent list of all "buddies" and their status.

* When a new message arrives, the notification (i.e. the "[#]" on
  the command line) is too subtle.  The IRC window is not in the
  front, there is not even a bell.

* All boring system messages like "buddy XY is now offline" trigger
  the notification, too.

Has anybody tried the alternatives?  Are Circe or rcirc better
suited for BitlBee?

Tschö,
Torsten.
