hello

im sick of microsoft (msn) and payware (mirc) im thinking about starting to use freeware software to chat, i know about trillian (there's a free version) and gaim. both support irc and msn (those are the two that i really need).

does anyway know other?
will there be a software that is able to view webcam from a msn messenger chat?
any other software that supports encryption?

thanks

msn messenger is completely freeware I'm not sure why you are sick of it, you can view webcam through gilly messenger, but i'm not sure where to get it, try good

gilly messenger is very nice but it wont work with webcam... it says that i should download msn messenger, and i do already have it installed.

gilly messenger
gaim
trillian
amsn

others?

too bad i can't get the webcam to work.
if you ask me why im looking for this... its because... huh... i use my computer at work and they will remove msn messenger forever, i won't be able to use it.

thanks!

aMSN requires a working Tcl/Tk installation to work, but otherwise is a very good substitute.
In fact, I use both MSN and aMSN (MSN under Windows, aMSN under Linux and as a spam-receiver for testing plugins).

i also use amsn in slackware but i need something to use with microsoft windows

there's also mercury... http://www.mercury.to

this one is cross-platform, but personally I think it sucks.

btw, gilly doesn't support webcam...

AIM and Yahoo?

Millenium_edition: thanks! gilly messenger looks like the best one...

too bad only messenger plus! encrypts log files, i really wanted hehe

"wanting" and "free" doesn't go together in the real world, you know.... You get what you pay for.... If you pay nothing, you wont get much....

untrue... there's a lot of free software that can match the paying ones...
