    well, i have not been able to connect for 24hrs myself.

    I have heard rumours [gasp] that MSN and Yahoo are on a crusade to block third party clients using their transport. i don't know the
    weight of this in truth, but i must say that everyone i know who uses IM uses a third party client primarily to avoid Ads and such.
    I use gaim myself. perhaps its the company i keep.

    Yahoo has officially updated messenger such that you can no longer connect
    using the current freebsd yahoo port version ( 0.99.19.1 ). I just tried
    to install their NEW package..

    makayla# pkg_add fbsd4.ymessenger.tgz
    pkg_add: could not find package gtk-1.2.3 !
    pkg_add: could not find package glib-1.2.3 !
    pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.6 !
    pkg_add: could not find package gdk-pixbuf-0.8.0 !
    pkg_add: could not find package gettext-0.11.1_1 !

    I have the following installed.. which worked fine with version 0.99.19.1..
    gtk-1.2.10_10
    gtk-2.2.4
    glib-1.2.10_10
    glib-2.2.3
    XFree86-4.3.0,1
    gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0
    gettext-0.12.1

    While I know the maintainer of the messenger port will have dealt with
    this issue before he commits the update, but why would Yahoo have released
    a new version today against depandants that are almost 6 months old?

    Michael
