hey i have a problem, i cant direct connect to other aim users, but thats because the option doesnt appear on any menu, and neither does talking over mic. i switched to adium b/c someone told me it did, and it accepts direct IM invitation, so is this a mac issue? when i accept a direct IM it never goes through and i cant envite anyone to direct IM with me so im guessing this is a mac issue... anyone know for sure?
if it turns out that adium doesnt support direct connect, or talk over IM then could one of you kindly direct me to a mac OS X app that does both of these?
help what the heck?!?!

im using 0.77TheSilverFox06 wrote:What version of Adium are you using? I believe the 0.8 beta has made some progress towards direct IM. As for talking, this can't be implemented into Adium until gaim-vv is finished, which will be a while.
i really like adium but i need something for the talking, can anyone recommend anything? i dont want skype, but from what i hear thats my only option as aim doesnt allow mac to pc voice chat.

Adium can sign on to AIM, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo, .Mac, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ, Sametime, Groupwise, and Zephyr all at the same time.

yeah kinda, thats why im looking for a adium alternative too, i had aim but i left it b/c it doesnt have voice chat, now i came to adium and it lacks voice chat AND direct connect! what i need is an Instant messanger that works with AIM and features both direct connect and voice chat, audio quality isnt that big of a deal, so i think im going to try trillian and hope for the best.TheSilverFox06 wrote:Adium can sign on to AIM, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo, .Mac, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ, Sametime, Groupwise, and Zephyr all at the same time.

ok just looking through trillian im noticing somethings id like that its missing, first video chat is only in pro, and icon viewing is only in pro... guess im gonna have to go pro, but ill test out basic atleast for a bit... make sure it has everything i need before i invest lol.
unless anyone knows of a freebie that does everything i need... lol
