Like I said earlier, I really don't know what to do with jabber.
Don't mean to sound so dumb about it but I didn't find the websites to
be very informative about it and I set up an account but couldn't
figure out how to access the MSN gateways and such.  In fact, when I
told Centericq to go to msn.jabber.org.ru (I believe it was), it
claimed my account is no good.  I thought one account was supposed to
be good on all jabber sites.  I signed up on jabber once before last
year some time and those links are broken now.  That's why I set up a
new one on www.jabber.org but now can't find anything to do with it.
Isn't jabber another direct messaging protocol like ICQ or MSN also?

Oh, Centericq added MSN back in during 4.9.10, I believe.  I got MSN
working but I had to add contacts with the windows version, When I
entered ids with Centericq, it added them but they were always dead
links not recognized by MSN.

Yes Imcom only supports jabber directly but jabber has gateways for all the other protocols such as icq msn aim etc. So you just have to find a jabber server with the transports you watn to use and then you're set as far as messaging goes. I didn't know that Centericq supported msn again. They remvoed it for a while so I wasn't sure. It's pretty much your preference I guess. I prefer imcom but it's a tiny bit more work to set up because you have to fidn a jabber server that has all the transports you need and you have to tell the jabber server to register you with the appropriate transports but that's not difficult and only needs to be done once.
