Well, I don't have direct experience with any of those clients, nor with trying to chat on MSN from Linux. But I do read some computer news, and have seen articles recently (within the last month?) that talk about an impending M$ plan to cut off their network from other chat clients. I understood that this was to apply to all non-M$ clients as well as to earlier versions of M$'s client as well. Maybe this explains the trouble you're having?

This seems likely. The latest version of one of the clones I use tells me that MSN Messenger is using a new protocol and new security, something about SSL, and would I like to download a small patch to handle this? I said yes, and got the patch ... but even that seems to be a little behind the curve. Well then it's back to good ol' Yahoo Messenger for me.


Thanks,
