Re: gaim & other protocols like msn..

[David Meiser <dmeiser@sienahts.edu>]

Joao,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the other protocols (MSN, IRC)
come compiled into gaim.  I think that you can enable them by going into
Tools>Plugins...  I'm not sure, though, as I run Gaim from CVS, which
I would recommend.  As an added bonus, Gaim comes default with the
other protocols enabled.  I'm not sure how this runs in testing/stable, but
you can get Gaim from CVS by adding this into your sources.list:

#Gaim CVS
deb http://people.debian.org/~robot101/gaim unstable cvs
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~robot101/gaim unstable cvs

Peace,
DAVE
