Hey,

I would recommend pidgin if you just need the basics of msn (it does
support file transfer though), or amsn if you need more advanced stuff
such as webcam support, there are also tons of web based msn clients
[1] if you wish,

Regards.

Angus

I had to read this twice to figure out what you were asking. Well-formed
questions often receive better help.

I don't use MSN, but I use pidgin which supports MSN. You will need the
version from backports if you are a Lenny user.

I've used amsn in the past and it worked pretty well, but it's been a
couple of years since I've tried it.
