proteus
Can someone explain to me how I am supposed to use this program??
i mean i try to sign on with my @mac.com account, that didn't work
and then i try my AIM account and all of those contacts show up as being offline... whats the deal?
has anyone used proteus with AIM successfully?
It looks good, but it doesn't work

zero support for mac.com names.
You can't login as a mac.com user and you can't chat with anyone that uses a mac.com name. Simple as that. Yuck.
I've also tried unsuccessfully to set it up with a regular AIM name. After a half hour of tinkering I gave up and dumped it in the trash.
And Brad is right, they don't support the @ and . symbols in screen names at all, mostly because they use the TOC protocol instead of OSCAR (what AIM/iChat/Trillian use.)
You can still chat with them in chat rooms (they appear as UnsupportedScreenName1, 2, etc.) but you cannot IM them or anything else.
I keep Proteus around only for MSN and ICQ.
