The question I am curious about is why iChat is even necessary for the=20=
member but we'll have to wait for him to reply.
Several months ago I checked into using iChat and found it needed=20
either a .mac account ($$) or a free AOL account. I did successfully=20
sign up for the AOL account and can access it through AOL messenger or=20=
directly over the web. Beyond that, I have not used it not have I=20
accessed my AOL account through iChat.
It appears the member posting the original post has a Sympatico account=20=
as I also do. Sympatico is now available with MSN platform at no=20
additional charge, only the time it takes for the changeover. I will=20
warn you that Entourage in Office 2001 will not support the sending of=20=
encrypted email but apparently Entourage in Office 2004 will=20
(encryption of the type MSN requires). Once the switch is complete, MSN=20=
Messenger can then be used with a Sympatico email address to sign in -=20=
there are PC and Mac versions available.
Also, a member of MUGLO had recently suggested Adium as an alternative=20=
messenger which allows any and all (?) accounts. We downloaded it and=20
my kids love using it. Not sure what the link was but it was free!!!
