Message-ID: <20031105002539.16413.qmail@web11405.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
As I only use the yahoo chat I can't comment on the MSN
connection issues.
But yahoo did change the way that people login into their chat
servers for the ymsg protocol, otherwise the ymsg protocol
didn't change.
Many yahoo chat capable clients have been updated for this, eg
zinc, curphoo, gyach and gaim.
For it to work in gaim you have to get one of the recent
versions, if memory serves me right at least version 0.7 or
newer
I had trouble compiling gaim from source because of some
dependency regarding ssl, so I don't have a personal experience
using it, but I have seen several people in chatrooms using it.
There are some prebuilt packages on gaim.sourceforge.net but I
haven't tried any of those.
Good luck anyway
James N.
