Re: Stable IM client in debian
Apologies for the quoting style, I'm stuck in Outlook at the moment...
jabber.com run a status page on support.jabber.com.
AIM: AOL have explicity blocked all clients except their own most recent.
This way the get to advertise in your client.
ICQ: There appears to be issues when connecting to the ICQ servers. The
status page for ICQ (http://support.jabber.com/public-server/icqstatus.html)
is very diplomatic (see the AOL page for the non-diplomatic approach) which
indicates that this is an issue which should be resolved. I sure hope so.

So, at the moment, is ICQ supposed to work through Jabber? I tried
gabber about a month ago, and it worked fine. However, with the
recent troubles with ICQ message sending, I tried playing with gabber
again. However, I can no longer register with icq.jabber.org. It
fails with "Error attempting to register with agent." Ditto for AIM,
though MSN Messenger works.
