Hi bdk!

The best way to find a package that you don't know the name of is to
type "apt-cache search bitchx"

and yes it is available, just type apt-get install bitchx

if you don't have your sources.list file pointing to the right place
you won't find it.  Here is an example of my /etc/apt/sources.list:

---
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-freedeb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US 
main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
---

then do a apt-get update
and then a apt-get install bitchx and it should work for you!
