Multiple simultaneous logins is not supported by libpurple/pidgin yet. On AIM/ICQ you just need to set your account preference to disallow simultaneous connections (Accounts -> aim account -> Edit Account -> Advanced -> turn on or off "Allow multiple simultaneous logins") Regards, Stu. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
