    sure: http://mercury.to/ supports almost everything... It is java though, so it can get a little slow.

    i don't like gaim, the layout strikes me as very odd

    in the past i was a zealous amsn http://amsn.sourceforge.net/ fanboy but since
    version += 0.94 amsn has become full of bugs and very slow ... i've found a imo better java based
    msn client now although it's freeware and not Opensource

    it's called Mercury and i love it http://www.mercury.to/
    anyway people not happy with their *Nix msn clients should really give it a try

    While mercury for mac allows you to send and receve webcam feeds, it does a bad job with conferencing .Video-conferencing technically is supported on Mac OS X, but it is receive-only, caused by an incomplete JMF file for Mac OS X

    ...try Mercury Messenger for MSN+webcam support on Windows, Linux & MacOSX. Its done multi-platform webcam for awhile. It also supports receiving video conferences on Mac & two way video conferencing on Win/Linux. It also has a ton of other features.

    Actually, there is a client, that implements almost every MSN messenger feature (winks, nudge, custom emoticons, wideochat, drawing, etc.): Mercury. It's closed source, but I've got a very good experience with it (I recommend the newest beta version). It can be downloaded from http://mercury.to/ It has been written in Java, so it's (almost :)) platform independent, inluding Windows,OS X, Linux.

  6. Re:Demand for the video phone? by MacJedi · · Score: 1 · on Skype 2.0 Adds Video
    FYI, the windows AIM client and the MacOS iChat client at one point could do cross-platform video, but I haven't been able to get it to work recently and I'm not sure if that is due to firewall weirdness or if Apple or AOL broke the interoperability recently.

    The only other option I know of is MSN using the cross-platform Mercury client. It's Java and buggy and the video quality is nothing compared to iChat, but it works.

    Actually, there is this java program Mercury that allows video chat and that is compatible with MSN messenger clients. Pretty neat, it works on Linux and Windows.

    If you want a full-feature MSN client, you can use Mercury. It is written in Java, so it is cross platform. I had the same issues as you, until I found Mercury.
