While this is the solution that I'd recommend as well, you do have the option of using the web-based clients for the major services. ICQ and AIM both have Java clients that run directly from their websites. I'm pretty sure that Yahoo does as well. Not sure about MSN though. But running a console client on your home machine and just connecting to it would be a better option instead of running 3 seperate web-based clients IMO. -Alex
