O.P. chat
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

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).

"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....
