Question Multi-account IM client with OTR

Is there a good chat client that a] supports multiple chat protocols (GTalk, AIM, Yahoo!, etc.) and multiple account logins, and b] supports OTR encryption? I haven't found a good one so far. I've tried IM+ and didn't like the interface at all. Instango is okay, but all your accounts go through their servers, and their servers seem to go down a lot (and they are not responsive to info requests). I'm using a trial of Beejive right now, and I like it so far, but it doesn't support OTR, and I've found several trails of 2+ year old requests of their users to add OTR support that have not been implemented.

Are there any better ideas?

None known, probably because all the BB apps are written in Java and AFAIK OTR has not been ported to Java.

Yep, it does. No PGP or S/MIME for BIS either, as far as I know.
