There are lots of clients for MSN. I'd suggest Gaim anyway.

Do a search on freshmeat for "msn client" to find out more clients.

How I did it:
download source from
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
I selected gaim-0.66.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf gaim-0.66.tar.bz2
cd gaim-0.66
(read the README and INSTALL files)
./configure
make
make install
gaim &

if you get amsn just do

tar zxvf amsn*
cd msn
./amsn

Thanx blinker_fluid it worked great...now how do i setup a hotmail account in linux? The Mail programs only allow pop and smtp servers not http. Can anyone help with this one?

Proud · 07-21-2003, 05:52 PM

Or Passport, or msn, or etc....

I use dMSN its a great one I even use it for windows somtimes get it here www.dmsn.nl its also very easy to install

deepsix · 07-21-2003, 09:45 PM

If your using Kde as your desktop.........I suggest using kopete its like gaim supports msn, aol, yahoo, icq, and sms plus it looks prettier and is easier to use.

What are the Messenger addresses?
What I mean is...what happens when I wanna to have multiple accounts (Yahooo, Msn and Icq)

What server addresses Do I use for each of these accounts?
I wanna use Gaim coz I got it on RH 9.0
thnx
