It does work, but I think I've heard talk about google deciding to
de-federate or at least make it not work with external XMPP at some 
point? Anyway you're welcome to my (python) code - all my interface 
pieces depend on having HeavyMetal running; they work by opening a tcp
connection to HM for talking to the teletype loop, and also connecting
to the external service in question, and relaying in between. That
way HM handles all the tty interfacing and half duplex echo suppression
uniformly and I just have to deal with translating protocols. 
If you want to be able to start and stop it at will, you can define
a command in heavymetal to run it.

note you'll need to create a file ~/.xtalk with your xmpp server/login info
It'll create a blank one for you the first time you run it.
