A: Some clients, such as Trillian, show your account name in your chat window, but other users will see your handle name.

Side note: if, like me, you prefer trillian for your multi-protocol chat client, Trillian will also work. It's just a slightly different set of steps, starting with enabling the Jabber/XMPP plugin. Otherwise it's pretty much the same, though you have to go into connection settings for the XMPP connection to change the resource name.

Awesome, thanks much for the info on both, LerthalD and Zizi. I'll play around with this when I've got some free time that isn't being spent playing around with how to make my phone sync with my work-related emails, task lists, schedules, and all the other allegedly time-saving crap that seems to be taking me more time to figure out how to use than it's likely to save once I do sort it out.
I miss the days when the hardest thing to sort out was how to record one show while watching another one. Now I get the feeling my phone is WAY smarter than I am. T.T

I don't know what you're talking about. I've only had good experiences with my Skynet phone.

Don't suppose anyone has gotten this working on an android based phone yet? I have messed with a couple jabber based im clients, but can't seem to get it to connect.

Hmmm got a program called jabbroid to work with tells halfway, though when I send a message, the reply comes back as a separate conversation, which I can then chat in. The problem is that when trying to add a group to chat in, (ha) it doesn't have that feature implemented. Have to find one that can do groups.

Make sure you go to the PTS page, and click to sign up for the PTS. I got the same error until I did that. Then it logged in fine.

That's exactly what I said when I figured it out too. Here's your decoder ring, meetings are the second thursday of every month.

i can get onto pidgin but i cant get on HA chat no more. but since we are connecting through cryptic and you said you had run out of card time. so maybe when your account goes down you cant use pidgin no more? atleast not through crypticspace.
just my guess
