Your 2 main choices for MSN at the moment are gaim and aMSN. Gaim i know is working ATM but aMSN i am not to sure about, as Microsofts new version of the protocol introduced a new authentication method which really hit the Linux msn users. Gaim is my personal favorite, i cannot stand the fact that aMSN is written inb tk (looks so dodge). But i do credit the author for his work on it as he really has made it look and feel alot like the microsoft MSN client. I used one called Merlin i think in KDE before...try looking into that one if aMSN fails you. Owww, last minute idea: http://kmess.sourceforge.net/ Looks real nice, ive never used it but i think i may have to now :P -- Cheers, rinmak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
