Heidrun: 

Heidrun is a hotline client which is module based, letting you decide by yourself how your client will look/feel/work like. Different modules will add different features/services. Because Heidrun is made with Cocoa, writing your own module is very simple. The default modules include services like: file transfers, threaded-news and all the basic hotline stuff like: chat, private-chats, messaging and plain-news.
