Gaim?? What...

Hey Mates,

Im currently using Mandrake 9.1 and it comes with GAIM installed. When I open GAIM and I do an account I dont have the option of MSN. I just have ICQ/AIM? Isnt GAIM for everyone. Because I use MSN Messenger a lot and I have all my friends on it, but it doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions, it would be appreciated.

Regards

Gaim is only for ICQ and AOL I believe...

you need a msn client for msn messenger.

Umm, you CAN use GAIM for MSN, yahoo, even napster. You need to go to Options (I believe, may be Accounts) and go to plugins. You can load the msn and other plugins here.
