read the other email, going to just reply to this one. im looking at making a basic 'web based' verrsion of msn... have been using the icq webbased version... and wanted to see how hard it would be to make a msn webclient... thought out would be rather popular... esp for students like me who can't install anything to their machines.. but have a webserver... and some programming time...
