ya, amsn works nicely and it handles foriegn characters well. on the otherhand, gaim is pretty nice too, since it's an all in one dealy. but you have to "install" the msn plugin, which isn't at all hard to do. the one thing i really dislike about gaim is that it doesn't handle foreign characters at all.

i used to use gaim, but this time i wasn't able to get it to connect. tik was easier to connect and i'd used it before.

i'll check out gaim again. i didn't know there were other packages available for it. thanks
