I have experienced a few too many crashes. It is also a memory hog (12 meg). Which is much more than the, what, 3k that it takes inetd to listen for ytalk requests... :-) However, it is indeed true that ICQ can be better for mobile users. In the end, it's up to the user, of course. I prefer ytalk but others prefer ICQ and it is indeed available and usable under Linux. -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Visit the Air Capitol Linux Users Group on the web at http://www.aclug.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
