BigBlueBall has the full tutorial with images. I’m not Jabber veteran so I’ll leave it up to the professionals to do the hand holding.
I can vouch that this method does indeed work. Unfortunately, the tedious steps and often unstable connections make it tough for me to convince myself to drop Gaim.
a nice tutorial, but…….
who wants to use another Google product ?????
I think people should stop supporting that “next Microsoft” empire !!!!
with no work at all (just download and install) you can use Miranda IM ( http://www.miranda-im.org/ ) to IM with every IM client out there.
it’s free, it’s open source (many extensions available) and it’s not Google….
you can also check Trillian ( http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/ ) which I’ve never tried but should be a cool, free IM as well.
udi9, i agree miranda is better. it was pretty blank compared to trillian, but now i got a cool vista skin. the only prob that i’m sometimes facing is AIM doesn’t connect using the standard login server.
Between FF gmail notifier, GDS2, and GTalk I was getting 3 notifications for every email I received. I dropped GTalk client and stick with Gaim.
/waiting anxiously for Gaim 2.0 final
miranda is decent. like justin, i had trouble connecting from time to time.
i’ve since stuck with gaim for a hassle free client which can access all major networks / jabber.
