Thanks, guys. Pidgin works pretty good. It didn't list any jabber
servers that I could see, at least not the one I used to use. I wanted
to encrypt the connection both ways, which jabber did. And you have to
create an account-- e.g., on ICQ or AOL-- separately. But that's okay.
Got it going. It works fast, much faster and much less of a cpu load
than chatting on facebook.
Thanks again.
