    Someone reverse engineering the webcam protocol for trillian a while ago didnt they?
    Google and see if its open sourced and if anyone else has given it a go.
    If not and you are up for the challenge write a plugin for the client of your choice!

    Why don't you like the default client? www.apatch.tk might fix it for you.

    yeah i did have it patched but theres so seriously gay problem where it like lags out on a reply or opening a contact to message... if you get me.
    basically click on contact and instead of popping up like it used to before format... it takes 1/2secs to appear and is blank then it all fills in.and i tried reinstalling and deleting install dir etc but no joy and its very annoying this problem so cannt be arsed with sorting it so i want a alternative... Caged... i did used to patch it before the format but cheers anyway
