Hi, I'm not sure if you were asking about MSN Messenger or MSN online service, so I'll try both:
MSN MESSENGER ---------------- GAIM is my personal favorite (and a lot of others as well). It not only does MSN but AIM/ICQ and Yahoo as well. It's one of the top sourceforge projects at: http://gaim.sourceforge.net I believe it is included on the Mandrake 10 CDs, or if you have urpmi set up to an FTP mirror, all you have to do is type "urpmi gaim" on a shell prompt and it will be installed automatically. If you don't know about urpmi, it's what runs behind the "Mandrake Update" tool. See this Wiki and learn it well. It is one of the top 5 things you'll come to love about Mandrake: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/UsingUrpmi Enjoy! GAIM a great client (and works on Windows/Mac/etc. too). As far as MSN online, I'd be highly dubious that there exists a client, however I thought it was just dialup or broadband service like anyone else (and not "AOL-style" proprietary content engine) so KPPP or any other dial-up client should work fine. I did a quick google and found a few posts from people who said there were able to connect to MSN. However, YMMV (your mileage may vary) Hope this helps, ______________________________ Justin Grote Network Architect, CCNA JWG Networks Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove nospam-) SMS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove nospam-) Phone: (208) 631-5440 ------------------------------ Original Message Follows ------------------------------ RH> A friend wants to try using linux on his pc but the main hang up is a MSN RH> account he has had for a long time and wants to keep accessing.
