member but we'll have to wait for him to reply.

Several months ago I checked into using iChat and found it needed=20
either a .mac account ($$) or a free AOL account. I did successfully=20
sign up for the AOL account and can access it through AOL messenger or=20=

directly over the web. Beyond that, I have not used it not have I=20
accessed my AOL account through iChat.

It appears the member posting the original post has a Sympatico account=20=

as I also do. Sympatico is now available with MSN platform at no=20
additional charge, only the time it takes for the changeover. I will=20
warn you that Entourage in Office 2001 will not support the sending of=20=

encrypted email but apparently Entourage in Office 2004 will=20
(encryption of the type MSN requires). Once the switch is complete, MSN=20=

Messenger can then be used with a Sympatico email address to sign in -=20=

there are PC and Mac versions available.

Also, a member of MUGLO had recently suggested Adium as an alternative=20=

messenger which allows any and all (?) accounts. We downloaded it and=20
my kids love using it. Not sure what the link was but it was free!!!
