Title: Yahoo or AIM clients ??
Post by: on January 15, 2004, 05:38:56 PM
      Got my Amiga 3000 on the internet (DSL) last night.  Wonderful.  It has the speed and color resolution of a stock 16 mhz Amiga but still wonderful.  :)

      So what does everyone here use for AIM and YAHOO chat?  

      I saw one page that featured a AIM client.  The read-me file was downloadable, the actual program was not.

     So what would a lot of you suggest for chatting?

This (http://www.missingpiece.com/AmigAIM/) is the AIM client I use. I actually prefer it to the "official" client because it filters out most of the garbage AOL throws at you. It also has great logging features. The only thing I really miss is a group chat feature.

There's also JabberWockey(sp?) that supports lots of different IM services, but I haven't tested that myself. It's on Aminet if you want to try it.

   Last message pointed me to...

http://www.missingpiece.com/AmigAIM/

   Yep, that is what I browsed over to with A-Web ][, and I was able to download the help file, but the link to the actual beta file was broken.

    Anyone else able to hit that ok?

I would use jabberwocky, if you can, it is IMO a good piece of software, I use it since long, and it always worked.

Yep. No trouble with Mozilla either. I've also downloaded it successfully with IBrowse in the past.
