Re: (clug-talk) Suggestion - IM Tools

[Jason Louie]

I use gaim at work on my linux platform and haven't had a problem with 
them yet using the MSN and ICQ protocol to talk with my wife at home.  I 
know Trillian is out there for windows.  I know you won't find a 
shortage of Windows IMs.  Of course using the most recent version of the 
IM will have all the bells and whistles that come with it and using 
another program for that IMs protocol will fall short on features of the 
orginal application.

Hi All,

Looking for a suggestion as to a good cross-platform IM product.  Ideally
running on Windows, Linux & Mac and utilizing all if not most of the IM
products out there.  I have read a few articles on them in the past but my
brain ain't working so good.
Also...just thought I would let everyone know.  I am no longer at Staples.
I started yesterday at Evolve Technologies.  Will be doing a whole slew of
stuff including (or so it looks) internal tech work.  We are pretty much a
Windows shop and we are an MCP, however, the IT manager at head office is
keen on Linux and Open Source products and is looking at a way of
implementing them.  One tools we use is MSN Messenger.  Would be great if we
could use the same sort of IM tool I am requesting there as well.
Let me know what you would recommend.

Cameron
