I havea hearde there is one called imcom which
does several of the messaging types.

msn messenger with linux?

[Cheryl Homiak]

Is there a client we can use for the msn messaging system? A friend of mine who
uses Windows says she has a friend who is also blind and uses msn's messaging
system with
linux to text chat with her. But all the programs i've found depend on the gui.

Thanks.

I think there is a linux version of Jabber. So many search for Jabber.

There's centericq and tnt that I know about for that.

Try Centericq.  It works with MSN, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ IRC and Jabber.  I am
currently using it with very few problems.

Hi Cheryl
I use centericq.
It supports all the most popular IM client: ICQ, Jabber, Yahoo, Aim and MSN.
I do not know which Linux distro you are using, I use debian and jost typed
apt-get install centericq.
bye

Thanks everybody; centericq it is.

Re: msn messenger with linux?

[jude dashiell]

There's a slackware package for centericq available on the internet too.

Re: msn messenger with linux?

[Shaun Oliver]

try centericq.
it supports icq aim yahoo and msn protocols.
the interface is kludgey at best but once you get around that it's
easy enough to handle.
