All,

In company that i work, some of my friends and me using Yahoo Messanger as instant messanger, right now I think to switch to anohter instant messanger that only run Internaly. So right now, I'd like to know what instant messanger that can run in window$ and hopefully in Linux. I see that windows communicator is almost good for my purpose, but they dont have any linux version.

regards,

Umm. There is a Linux client for Windows communicator. http://www.communicator.pl/download.html Brad Dameron SeaTab Software www.seatab.com

try 'talk': NAME talk - talk to another user SYNOPSIS talk [-p encoding] person [ttyname] DESCRIPTION Talk is a visual communication program which copies lines from your ter- minal to that of another user. Options available: encoding The charset encoding sent by your peer (i.e. UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, EUC-JP, whatever). Default is some guesswork based on the incoming data and your current locate. person If you wish to talk to someone on your own machine, then person is just the person's login name. If you wish to talk to a user on another host, then person is of the form ser@host'. ttyname If you wish to talk to a user who is logged in more than once, the ttyname argument may be used to indicate the appropriate terminal name, where ttyname is of the form tyXX' or ts/X'. When first called, talk contacts the talk daemon on the other user's machine, which sends the message Message from TalkDaemon@his_machine... talk: connection requested by your_name@your_machine. talk: respond with: talk your_name@your_machine to that user. At this point, he then replies by typing talk your_name@your_machine -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Still keeping up with some left behind list email. :-/ Well, you could go on with an internal jabber server and PSI [1] as a client. PSI is qt based, multi-platform, on windows you can install it (also) simply doing an unzip in a user disk directory without messing the registry (eventually) and supports encription. Also if the jabber server you choose to use as "patches" to be a gateway to icq, msn, yahoo, whatever it can connect to them. I've also seen SoapBox [2] recently which can come for free (as in beer) if your "organiziation" is made by 5 people. cheers, -n [1] http://psi-im.org/ it's on SUSE plain repositories, btw [2] http://www.coversant.net/portal/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=18 -- nicola .:kOoLiNuS:. losito http://koolinus.wordpress.com http://www.koolinus.net [ITA] powered by SUSE Linux 10.0
