More clients will come with support, as more transports offer the functionality. It's way to chicken/egg for my liking, so I'm trying to offset the balance, and 'force'? client developers into implementing this functionality.

I'll be treating any web interface as a temporary solution for those cretins who don't have a client that supports AdHoc yet :-P i.e. please make sure that whatever you can do in the web interface, can be done via AdHoc, which i'm sure you were going to do anyways. -- - Norman Rasmussen - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Home page: http://norman.rasmussen.co.za/ From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 31 15:41:21 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Magnus Henoch) Date: Wed Aug 31 15:41:12 2005 Subject: [py-transports] PyAIM/ICQ musings In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Daniel Henninger's message of "Wed, 31 Aug 2005 10:20:12 -0400 (EDT)") References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Daniel Henninger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > What clients are you aware of that support it?
