QuoteThere's already a client called xfibs so I'd avoid that name. It's for a unix system.Ã, 

Wow, so there is. I'll add it to the Connecting to FIBS (http://www.fibs.com/connecting.html) in the next update:

There's even another interface called xibc:

And then is it worth including mention of Tinyfugue on the site as well?

Please take the following with a grain of salt:

A friend of mine who showed me fibs was a user of tinifugue and xfibs. According to him both interfaces are old and not longer maintained, so I don't know if they are really usable or "compilable".
