okay, for the enligtemnet of us all to the magic world of IM clients , where does one find plugins for gaim? ( I have it up and running fine, w/ AOL , but I also have need to talk to folks on MSn ( bah!) and occassionally those on yahoo IM as well, one reason I installed the gaim client was it was said that it could do all those w/ just the one client. Sort of like jabber was suposed to be a year or so ago....
Just click Tools-->Plugins-->Load set Filepath to /usr/lib/gaim/ and you will find 13 Plugins for just about everything, irc, icq, jabber, napster, yahoo, chat, msn, spellchk, away, reconnect, etc. It's the best -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
