Gaim

Gaim is a GTK2 based multi-protocol IM client, supporting, in addition to Zephyr, AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, Jabber, IRC, and Gadu-Gadu. It supports both personal zephyrs and chats (subscription entries from your /.zephyr.subs), in per-person windows, or with a tabbed interface.

The version currently installed on Athena is 1.5.0 with a couple of fixes for connecting to MIT's jabber server. For more information, on gaim, you can go to http://gaim.sourceforge.net

To run it from any Athena cluster workstation, type

gaim

On some older Athena workstations, gaim is not installed locally, and you will have to run an older version from the im locker. To do that, type

add im; gaim
