Yes Some IM clients like Gaim http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ use plugins which communicate directly with MSN servers, while others like Psi http://psi.affinix.com/ make use of the Jabber instant messaging system which supports gateways into third party IMs like MSN,Yahoo etc You do not say which version of Mandrake you are using, but if you are using Mdk 9.2 you will need an up to date version of Gaim since MSN keep changing their protocol to lock out non MSN clients. Charles Edwards maintains nice up to date versions here http://www.eslrahc.com/ Follow the (urpmi) instructions and you can use your Mandrake Software Install GUI to install them derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
