wine users - Apr 2001 - MSN Messenger

Appearantly the good folks at Microshaft (soft) have yet to make a linux 
version of this messenger, and know one has made a clone yet, I tried to 
run it on wine but with no success, has anyone out there been able to get 
it to run, or know of a clone?, and if so, were can i get the clone, or how 
can i get it to run?

Both Gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net) and Jabber can do MSN to the best
of my knowledge.  Gaim uses a plugin architecture though, so you will
have to "Load Plugin" and choose the msn.so or whatever it's
called.

I've never really tried it, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say
that Gaim works.
