    Is there an IM/Trillian equivalent product for Linux?

    Sorry, just to make it clearer, I have found several daemons that work with Jabber. I'm after something that'll communication with IM and Trillian.

    Trillian isn't it's own network, but rather just an app that gives access to AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN and IRC all in one.

    I believe that Cerulean are working on a Linux version, but as yet no sign.

    Imici is another similar app, that is available for both windows and linux, although I found the windows version very poor (and trillian 0.65 was a lot better, back in the day). I believe the linux version was better though.

    Thanks Isaac,

    I know Trillian don't have their own Network like Jabber, but I mentioned it because that's what we use currently under XP. So, I hope Cerulean do bring out their Linux version quickly.

    I'll take a look at Imici.

    ALso Gentoo, have a "Common Lisp interface to AOL's TOC instant messaging protocol" on their website. Anyone know this product?
