Webcam support still isn't fully functional in any of the opensource
projects I think; gaim is the closest to getting a working prototype
though, through the gaim-vv subproject. IIRC, the author of Kopete is
helping out, so the MSN webcam functionality might become available in
Kopete sometime in the near future.

There is an MSN Messenger clone for Linux. I haven't used it but I think it
seems to be good. I will try it shortly.

You can read further and download from the project's homepage at
http://amsn.sourceforge.net/

It's already in ports: net-im/amsn and doesn't need linux compat
%make run-depends-list
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/tcllib
/usr/ports/devel/tcltls
/usr/ports/graphics/imlib
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/tk84

I've installed it and someone with a login has logged in but that's the extent of testing here, ie not tested with a webcam.

Don't forget to enable linux compatibility in

/etc/rc.conf from

linux_enable="NO"

to

linux_enable="YES"

Pls notify me if it's working
