Thanks for the info. Actually I haven't tried any version yet. I was just curious about finding some app that might receive text message sent from a cell phone. I.e. - instead of giving my cell phone number which I'd rather keep private I might give a Google-Talk phone number and receive the messages at my desk. I think this can be done with Skype but you have to buy a phone number from them. It seems to me that Google gives theirs out for free, at least right now. I believe you are correct about the ?? versions. They aren't in portage here. Thanks again, Mark
