Well, I don't have direct experience with any of those clients, nor with
trying to chat on MSN from Linux. But I do read some computer news, and
have seen articles recently (within the last month?) that talk about an
impending M$ plan to cut off their network from other chat clients. I
understood that this was to apply to all non-M$ clients as well as to
earlier versions of M$'s client as well. Maybe this explains the trouble
you're having?
