Hi guys. I've been told a long time ago that if you have a hotmail account you can access the msn messenger service under linux.
Can anyone tell me what programs I can to use this.
I have something that lets me access aim and icq just need something that'll let me access msn messenger.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Tommy

If so, put an ampersand (&) at the end of the command-line. It might look like: wvdial & That'll let you have your prompt back. Next, log out of root, and log in as yourself. BTW, a good way to get root access when you need it is to use the "su" command. SU allows you to switch to another user. The default for the su command is root. To get root's environment in addition to root's user and group ID's, use the minus sign after the command. It would look like: "su -", without the quotes. When you exit the shell, you'll be yourself again. Also, using your own user once connected would simplify the use of ssh providing that your name is the same on your provider and your local system.

That's correct, you just need a passport.com account, which, although a little-known fact, you can create with any email address you like. I don't have a hotmail account, never have, never will.

When you start centericq for the first time you are prompted for the config settings, you use your up/down arrows to go through choices and then right arrow to done and press enter. Then you are taken to the account set up screen where you can put in only aim if you wish, or put in what ever im accounts you have and that is all you need. When you sign in you will see which im services are active at the top of the screen, your contact list will be one contact list showing all your im contacts. When you press enter on one of your contacts you will see what im service they are on in case you don't already know. This is handy in case you have more than one name for different im contacts. example: I have a friend who uses Joe for both his icq nickname and Joe for his msn name. So on my contact list he shows up twice as "joe". If you read the readme of centericq you will get lots of good info. hth. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread
