Hi, I've not had much time to investigate this, as I'm in University doing work *cough*.
But I tunnel aMSN over SSH (firewall doesn't allow MSN), using dynamic ports (ssh -D 1080 server.com) and then tell aMSN that it's using a SOCKS5 proxy on 127.0.0.1:1080. But the wireless signal where I am is a bit crappy and drops out sometimes. When this happens, wish8.5 shoots up to 100% CPU and requires a `killall wish8.5'. aMSN is of course totally unresponsive. I'm not sure if this is because the SSH tunnel doesn't drop properly or if it is indeed a bug in aMSN. If I get time, I'll attempt to investigate this.. but with only 4 weeks left on my final year project, I may not get a chance. Thanks! -- .''`.
