If you want instant messaging capabilities, you could try Jabber. There are plenty of Jabber clients out there, and setting up a Jabber server is extremely simple. For entry-level users, I could recommend Psi as a client, since it runs on both GNU and Windows. Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
