http://tmsnc.sourceforge.net/

Size: +- 220 kbs (.deb = 217, tar.gz = 233)

Requirements:

OpenSSL (>=0.9.7d)
NCurses (>=5.4)

Observations:

Tested under knoppix 4.0.2. Very cool MSN client based on NCurses. It allows:

* Log in/out
* Retrieve list of users
* See who's online and their status
* Get e-mail notifications from Hotmail
* Initiate/join chat sessions
* Send/receive messages
* Switch between windows using TAB
* Change your status
* Change your name
* Use talkfilters
* Have different languages
* Invite principals
* Use international characters
* Add new contacts
* Accept new contacts adding you
* Block/remove contacts
* Change the interface's colors
* Log conversations
* Use sound to notify you of events

Contrs:

- No send/receive files by now

.
- .deb package doesn't seems to work properly under knoppix 4.0.2 live (it hangs up in the login screen, just when you launch tmsnc). Compiling tmsnc from the source fixes the problem. .deb not tested under DSL.
- Sometimes I can't send a message inside a conversation (?). (Needs testing).

Could you add it to DSL CD, plz?

We have looked at this before, and it would require updating libs to the tune of about 1.4mb of space being used just to have this.

Probably still won't happen.
