there are a couple clean but very simple chat clients available on my grab bag
site, set them and chat away on any IRC server.
I started out on one of those myself before I ever turned windows messenger on
and found it a lot more significant than messenger ever was.

IRC works really well, depending on what client you use. I've gotten quite
used to MIRC. Unfortunately it's not pretty enough for most people nowadays, so
the system isn't used by as many as it used to be. TOo bad; I'll never
understand why people would rather rely on centrally governed, corporate
products and servers for their chat needs, but that's just the way of the
internet in the early 21st century.

Interested to read Sugar's and others comments about the capabilities of
windows messenger. But would also like to add/comment on chat sites in general
with Jaws.
I often use Skype but have to use an older version because it won't work
with Jaws. Even the version I use has its problems. Jaws does, I think have
serious problems or things that don't make sense to me. An example of this is
that it does repeat itself and say things twice.
Facebook is another example. You can't do open chat properly. Ok, it may
be the fault of the website, but are there any chat facilities that we don't
have to spend hours tweeking them?
Interested to see what you think.
Ron

Howdy,
I just installed Windows Live yesterday, so I'm running that particular
version.
I'm also running JFW 10.0.1139.
What has now been happening is that my friend types something in, and
JAWS will read it the first time but when I try to use my jaws cursor or other
commands, I can't get it to read anything but graphics and the menu bar.
It's annoying.

hello there;
well, if your using windows live 2011,
you need to,
1, open messenger,
2, shift+tab until you hear;
toggle layout button, and press enter.
now, you should be able to see your contact list, online/offline,
and you should be able to read the messages.

Howdy,
I am needing to use Windows Live Messenger very soon. I've loaded it
on to my Vista machine with JAWS 10. I know.I know, I need to upgrade, and
will do that in a while.
Anyway, when trying to use it with someone, I couldn't get JAWS to read
the messages that I was typing or the messages that my friend was typing to me.
I used to use it on a Netbook computer with Windows XP and JAWS 10, but
something's different here.
Do I need specific scripts or certain commands to use it? It's kind of
necessary.
Thanks.
Jim
