[nos-bbs] IM Clients With WW Converse Server?

[Charles Hargrove]

I was thinking of one client that some of my local users could set up
that they could also use with any other IM accounts that they have.  Sort
of eveything under one umbrella with a free client package called Trillian.
I know that the IRC choice in Trillian can have it's parameters changed
for host, port number, etc.  Right now the only other choice that I have
suggested to some was the telnet command in a test window of their PCs.
