I’'ve Installed pyICQ per instructions found on this forum and have been somewhat successful. I can send messages to ICQ contacts online, but cannot receive their responses. My buddy list shows up on my jabber client (soapbox). BTW is Soapbox a good client pgm or is there a better one?
i havent tried SoapBox so i cant compare, but i like Exodus and Psi. neos have pretty cool design and look. I prefer Exodus because it follows most of XMPP better than other clients i have tried.
Even though we do not recommend any client in particular, the most popular clients among the JM community members seem to be Pandion, Exodus and Psi. You can see the list of clients in this link: http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml
I just installed PSI it looks like it works well, but I still don’'t have everything working well with the ICQ Transport. Here is where I am at:
I can’'t receive reply messages from users using ICQ ver. 2003b.
Status sometimes doesn’'t show correctly.
I use some korean text. When I msg Jive users they can see the text fine, but when I use ICQ transport the text is garbage.
FYI the following issues are present regardless of the client so I have a feeling that they relate more to the ICQ transport.??
Also, I’‘d like to install pyMSN but run into an error I think because I don’'t have pyopenssl?? So I downloaded openssl, but do I have to compile this myself? using perl? is there something I am missing or is this the correct method?
I guess I just needed to spend a little more time investigating…
I have successfully installed and have running ALL three transports (AIM, MSN, and ICQ)
I had to tweek AIM main.py a bit because there was an IF loop that was causing the pgm to hang. I think it was looking for some .exe, so I just commented it out and it works fine.
I think I am going to end up using Pandion…(btw it is the same thing as Soapbox…I guess Soapbox just branded it).
