A good messenger (other than Yahoo or MSN)?

[Macedon]

I need a messenger compatible with both Yahoo and MSN, while supporting voice and cam...
Browsing the net, I came across Trillian 3.1, is anyone familiar with it? Any other suggestions?

Trillian is the mostly widely used 'multi messenger'. Lots of people use it, probably your best bet.

I use GAIM, it's multi-functional - and is line for a big update sometime in the near future (I hope). Plus, it's free, whereas Trillian Pro isn't (or at least, wasn't last time I used Trillian)

Basic Trillian is free, but I hear that it sucks too much bandwidth...

Gaim users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.

This sounds cool, does Trillan has this feature?

Here are two other free multi-platform instant messenger programs I've found. I had experienced both. However I don't remeber about my experiences about them nor do I remember if they had cam/mic features and such. Maybe you'd like to give them a try.

Tnx very much, I appreciate it. I think I'm gonna download Trillian and see how it goes.
Thanks again.
