Free msn software for linux

TjMSN was started as due to a lack of decent MSN Messenger clients for Linux, so I decided that I would write a client that was platform independent, so that I would run on both my desktop and laptop.
TjMSN is free software and it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
TjMSN now supports plugins to allow you to install features that not all users will want.
Avaliable Plugins:
Chat Logger
Logs all chat sessions to html/xml files for viewing after a chat window has been cloased
Chat Logger Web Server
When used in combiation with the chat logger, this will allow you to publish chat logs on a web server so that you can give people urls to view chat histories.
Eliza Autoreply
An auto reply plugin that uses the Eliza algorithm to have conversations for you while you are away from your computer.
Systray
Places a icon in the system tray for TjMSN
Enhancements:
- This release includes an updated version of TjMSNLib (0.50) that fixes some major bugs in the client.

msn2mail is a MSN-to-e-mail gateway.

For install follow these steps:
make
make install

This program needs fvhlib v2.1 or later!

Create a .msn2mailrc with:
username = your msn passport address
password = password
mailer = path to sendmail
forwardto = e-mail adres to forward to

You can have multiple forwardto-lines.

example:

username = folkert@hotmail.com
password = secret
mailer = /usr/bin/sendmail
forwardto = folkert@vanheusden.com
forwardto = flok@xs4all.nl

TjMSNLib is an MSN Messenger client library written in Java and designed to be platform independent. It supports file transfers, smilies, and multiple user chat sessions.
TjMSN was started as due to a lack of decent MSN Messenger clients for Linux, so I decided that I would write a client that was platform independent, so that I would run on both my desktop and laptop.
TjMSN is free software and it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a few major bugs.
- The first was a stream flush bug which caused switch board sessions (chat sessions) to time out before they even started.
- Errors thrown when trying to set the traffic class on a TCP socket are no longer ignored.
- This was causing the library to crash while connecting on Mac OS X.
- Finally, problems which occurred when a user added you to their contact list while offline or online were fixed.

This is the IRC gateway for Microsoft(tm) Messenger.

You probably wonder what this is and why I wrote this. Some more information can be found in the DESIGN document that is included in this package.

This software is written by Johannes Verelst and is licensed through the GPL license (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

Note that this is pre-alpha code, it probably does a bit that you want, but dont email me bugreports or feature requests. It is under heavy development.

If this program doesnt run try to install corectly all required perl modules yourself.

The idea for this program came when I was getting annoyed by the fact that I had to use different programs for both IRC and MSN. Since I dont know of any good MSN clients that can do IRC too (on unix, ofcourse), I started thinking about the other way around: an IRC client that can do MSN.

When I saw a piece of software written by Adam Swann that allows easy connectivity to MSN with perl, I decided to write an IRC server in perl that would connect to MSN for you. This is the result.

TMSNC is a textbased (console) MSN client written in C. TMSNC should work on most Unix (Linux, BSD, MacOS) compatible operating systems.
Textbased MSN Client projects main goal is to create a client like MSN Messenger (with sound, webcam and file transfer support), but without any graphical features.
TMSNC is an opensource project which is released under the IR Public Domain License which basically is a modification of the BSD license.
It has been tested to work on
- OpenBSD/PowerPC 3.7
- Gentoo Linux 2005.1
- CRUX Linux 2.0
- MacOS X 10.3.9 (Panther)
- Debian Linux 3.1
- Slackware Linux 9.1
- RedHat Linux 9
- Fedora Core
- SuSE 9.0 Professional
- Solaris 8
