This is great, I have tried it, although with differing results. For example, the online/offline status of contacts is not correctly displayed. A tutorial and server suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Let us know when you have written up something. Thanks Andrew! This is great, I have tried it, although with differing results.

Any Jabber user can 'register' with one of these gateways by providing the information needed to log on to that network, and can then communicate with users of that network as though they were Jabber users. This means that any client which fully supports the Jabber protocol can be used to access any network to which a gateway exists, without the need for any extra code in the client.</blockquote> I'll have a full write-up on the blog on the perfect way to connect to Messenger through iChat, and probably add a video tutorial. In the mean time, google the solution. Hello,

iChat version 3 support Jabber, an open protocol and decentralized instant messaging standard that any server can add support for.

I can't find any reference elsewhere to cross-compatibility. Do you think he meant he packed up his MSN account and switched to iChat? Any chance you could send him a supplementary question about this? I got to the end of the interview wondering exactly the same thing. I can’t find any reference elsewhere to cross-compatibility.

I'd be more than interested to know how to do this. How can one add a Microsoft Messenger account to iChat? “I added all my accounts to iChat, including Microsoft Messenger”
