    Skype (chat) plugin for Trillian/GAIM

    Hey,

    Simple question really, does anyone know of a plugin for Trillian that will let you use skype conversations?

    I'm not looking for anything that lets you voice call or anything, just use the chat functionality. A couple of friends refuse to get an MSN or ICQ (AIM) Account and I dont like installing lots of clients..so would be ace if there was a trillian (or even GAIM) plugin.

    anyone know of any?

    thx in advance

    proprietary, closed system. so no, not until some bugger gets bored & reverse engineers it

    TheAnimus will be along shortly to explain why open standards are evil and cause cancer

    make them use google talk - that uses an open-source protocol for conversations
