Anyone heard of DashToolz and/or Dash PO?

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience with or knowledge of either of these: DashToolz or DashPO They both look over-hyped and somewhat fishy to me. I wouldn't feel comfortable using them, but maybe my "judging the book by its cover" mechanism needs to be overruled? I've been...

Bored? Using linux (or Windows)? Want to try something new?

Want to try a different kind of IM service? One that's encrypted, fast, small and works? One that works just the same on linux and Windows, but is not written in pokey Java? One that's adfree, spyfree, spamfree? This software is still being expanded and we want as much user feedback as we...

Linux/Windows/Mac cross-compatible IM goes alpha, try it?

Over a year ago I first posted about BitWise Chat, a fast & small IM service. Over a year later, it's now more featured than ever and has just released new Linux and Windows versions with a fresh interface and many new features (although it's not done yet, it is functional). The BitWise Alpha...

MSN messanger and Linksys Router

do what I tell everyone who has trouble sending files with the big IM clients: try BitWise Chat, which not only seems to be much better about sending files, but also compresses and encrypts them for you on the fly. :)

Cross-Platform secure IM Project with wxWindows: Idea-Gathering Stage, looking specifically for linux input

A lot of IM services claim to be cross-platform, but most of the non-Windows clients are pretty bad, and they definitely are not consistent with the Windows version in terms of having the same features and interface. We now plan to change all that. Beginning soon, BitWise Chat (which has been...

Cross-Platform secure IM Project with wxWindows: Idea-Gathering Stage, invitation for your opinions

Somewhat familiar with the command prompt, but GUI development is way outside of my league. It will certainly be coming a part of my league in the future. ;) Do you have any ideas of other forums or sources for people that might be interested in helping. This obviously isn't working out so well.

MSN through Linksys Firewall

MSN MESSENGER 5.0 - Renaming Contact

Isn't this one of those features that should be mandatory? Heck, even BitWise Chat supports that... not that I would know anything about that, of course. ;) Why a service would allow multiple names the same and then not give a way to differentiate them is beyond me.

msn messenger alternatives

You can try BitWise Chat, if your firewall allows outgoing connections it can work... or, if not, you can always set up a buddy list from home and then message them from the website. It's not necessairly elegant but it may be worth a shot.

Which instant messaging software (and version)do you prefer?

I only post cause it just happened again, but Trillian just crashed. That is fairly not cool with open convos and whatnot... and all I did was double-click on someone's name! Or maybe that's a "feature..." I'd rather have stability than most of the extra stuff they have that I never use.

Only thing I notice about Trillian Pro is that it can pull in the message history when you open a conversation, making it easier to remember what you last talked about. And it has more plugins. Not much other than that that affects me.

BitWise Chat! Of course, I guess I'm biased. ;) Plus it can send files faster than most and can get around some router problems that hang up the other, especially MSN... the whole thing grew out of frustration with the existing ones so we've tried to get around the annoyances of them. ;)

Rant: Why can't I do file transfers through AIM with router?

Not a linux program? Emulation rocks? I have to say that confuses me a bit. If you can code cross-platform in Python or something else, why not? US developers can distribute higher encryption if they control who they give it to. And how hard is it to find an offshore server, anyway...

Yes, but there is no consistent AIM client across multiple platforms. Clients exist that connect to AIM, but they all look & feel different. Think unified.
