The BeOS IM kit makes another huge step, with slaad adding support for the MSN protocol. The kit is making use of the latest protocol - MSNP10 - including secure logins.

It uses a Cryptography library called Cryptlib which compiles out of the box on both BeOS and Zeta.

The BeOS IM kit now has support for the following 3 protocols: ICQ, AIM and MSN. Work is also being done on getting the supported protocols more feature rich.

The IM kit team is looking for more developers, so if you're interested, head over to #beosimkit @ irc.freenode.org .

If you just want to try out the solution, the BeOS IM kit alpha 9.1 can be downloaded from http://www.eiman.tv/files/. The latest available sources can be downloaded from BeClan.
