    Question Internet Chatting

    Thought I would try and get Jabberwocky running.
    As I have mentioned previously it's jabber software for the miggy.
    No idea what i'm doing so i'm looking fo a guinea pig.
    I would like to send a message to someone on MSN.
    Any volunteers?

    You can send me a message if you wish (stephen.coates@gmail.com)

    I won;t be on much over the next week though as I only have a very limited internet connection.

    Whats jabberwocky like?

    I have never used any istant messaging software on teh Amiga except for WookieChat, which I used to connect to IRC (and AmIRC, also for IRC), although I use BitlBee for MSN and AIM more often than not now so I'm not as bothered about other IM clients.

    Haven't got my head round it yet.
    Might be able to give a better opinion when I have sussed it.
    Use Amirc and Wookiechat myself.
    Have downloaded Botlbee but haven't tried it yet.

    No mate, haven't got that much time on my hands.
    It's just a bit of software for accessing bitlbee.
    Not entirely sure what it does though.

    I'm a bit at a loss to explain.
    I was under the inpression, I could just access bitlebee through Wookiechat at bitlbee.com
    Will have to read the docs.

    By the way, have tried to send you something on MSN.

    All you do is get an IRC client, and connect to im.bitlbee.org. Simple as that.

    By the way, have tried to send you something on MSN.
    May I ask what?

    /me doesn't see anything

    Still not sure what it does.
    But as I can seem to do anything with bitlbee either way, I think i'll give this up as a bad job.
    Not getting far with Jabberwocky either.
    Give that a miss as well I think.

    I've you want to test sending a message to MSN when we are both online send me a Pager message and I will start MSN Messenger then you can see if you can get it to work.

    My MSN name is classicamiga@hotmail.com

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
