ASCII video chat.
Probably the first command line video chat progam.
It just prints ASCII, so it works on your rxvt-unicode in OpenBox, a Putty SSH session, and even iTerm on OSX.
It even works in an initial UNIX login shell, i.e. the login shell that runs 'startx'.
Eventually it will support 3+ simultaneous people, 'google-hangouts' style, and sound via PulseAudio or something.
