Title: other 3.x options for google talk?

I run a couple of TwinVNC instances on my A1200 so I can browse the web with Opera on one screen and have movies playing on the other. For chatting it's very usable (not so much for videos but still fun to watch and drag screens down over each other while it's all running).

I'll have to check that out. How hard is it to get setup ?

Post by: runequester on September 14, 2011, 01:42:09 AM: hm, I downloaded twinVNC, and an VNC server app on the linux side, but I get TCP/IP stack cannot be found, when I launch twinVNC on the amiga.

However, Ibrowse is able to connect to the internet just fine. Suggestion ?

Post by: Cammy on September 14, 2011, 01:50:59 AM: I tried connecting with AmiTCP and got the same message, but it works fine with Miami DX. Miami DX is free now and the keyfile was provided to the community so it's well worth installing and using as your primary TCP stack until Roadshow comes out.

Post by: Amiten on September 14, 2011, 02:17:39 AM: Yes, runequester (http://www.amiga.org/forums/member.php?u=6956) try with MiamiDeluxe must be that, how cammy indicate.

good look ;)

Post by: runequester on September 14, 2011, 02:31:50 AM: okay, got miami set up. THat was a hell of a lot easier than amiTCP, I must say. I could have saved a looong afternoon a while back :)

Now for the next step...

Post by: runequester on September 14, 2011, 03:00:30 AM: huzzah. posting this from google chrome through vnc. its kinda slow, but ill mess with it more.

thanks guys!

edit: only downside is that my machine freezes when closing miami but eh, not too big a loss to reboot when i log off.

second edit: jabberwocky totally works with miami as well. The interface is pretty much insane, but I managed to get it working after a while too for google talk.

Googletalk requires TLS security and unfortunately Jabberwocky doesn't provide (or didn't provided) that.

-edit- what? tell me what settings did you use, please (perhaps ssl has to be disabled in gmail preferences?)

I had to hunt for a server that worked for it. The one that worked was jabber.iitsp.com for me.

Im using the 1.9 beta version so I dont know if that makes a difference to older versions.

Without going into the morals of distributing warez, MiamiDX author certainly didn't provide the keyfiles you link to.

Code: [Select]
nOCK hLRI'98! hIGHLIGHT & rESISTANCE iNC.
