Hi folks,
Just wondering if the hive mind can come up with some ideas here.

I use MessengerPlus! on Windows 7 - what's not to love! It permits (under certain circumstances) a second connection to the same account. In my case I'm perhaps trying to do the impossible.

I have
1 Windows wkstn - Windows 7 (Messenger Plus! MSN client)
1 iPhone (IM+ MSN client)

1 MacBook


I can connect to an MSN account using Messenger Plus!, and IM+ on the iPhone. All communications on one are repeated on the other. Lovely, couldn't ask for better. Apart from anything else, it makes history hunting for a URL/statistic easier...to put it mildly.

I wonder if anyone knows whether a third connection is possible - under the above circumstances - with a Mac OSX client? I've tried Adium and aMSN. Both kick MessengerPlus! (on the windows workstation) and IM+ (on the iPhone) off immediately, and "take over" as sole sign-on.

As of now, I've more or less concluded that this is impossible, but I wonder if anyone else has tried this - found it possible - and would care to share their ideas on how best this could be accomplished.

Regards & TIA,
Colin
