Did you ever heard about the TRILIAN messenger?
Trillian is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, YM , and IRC. It provides capabilities not possible with original network clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, tabbed chatting, system-tray notifications and alerts, and privacy settings.
Installation and setup are simple, and the included features are useful. You can check supported e-mail accounts with one click, view detailed event logs for each client, and, of course, CHAT.
Plus each supported chat client has options such as video and voice messaging, SMS support, and file transfers.
Trillian also offers skin support, although they can be a bit testy to install. While you’ll occasionally lose contact with AIM, that’s AOL’s fault. Credit Trillian for fixing these blocks quickly.
The best thing about Trillian is that it’s absolutely FREE–there’s no adware or functionality limitations. So if you decided to get one just click here.
