My only problem now is that there were quite a few contacts in MSN that I had on ignore for some reason or another. Unfortunately that doesn't translate to iChat - is there any way to make myself 'invisible' to only some contacts without deleting them? Great tut.

It will work but too many issues that make it a pain. If you used psi to add the contacts, you can set it to auto-authorize. Also, when you add them back in, it may require your contacts to authorize you again. That was one of the problems I remember having. If only MS would give up on the Mac MSN Messenger client and just write an iChat plugin ... I haven’t been using the MSN gateway for some time now.

Although it may be possible that there are A/V transports. You might want to look at other Jabber gateway providers. Start from jabber.org and you can look at alternatives to jabber.anywise.com. I'm using myjabber.net with good success right now. I don’t think audio and video will work. Although it may be possible that there are A/V transports.

But I think the gateway provider must be the same. In my example, jabber.anywise.com can provide both MSN and Yahoo gateways. You register for both. It may also be possible to use multiple gateway providers but I haven't done that. You can use more than one gateway. But I think the gateway provider must be the same.

I was just wondering if we could use 2 different gateway ( one for MSN, and one for Yahoo), or if it would create a problem. thanks Julie Hello,
