I'm not fond of Agile, and Palringo for just this reason.
I've never been completely comfortable with the idea of having a large chunk of my personal communications pass through third party servers, especially when software vendors are often less than explicit about it, make little in the way of security guarantees, and are sometimes located in far off lands.
I would like to find another direct connect client outside of IM+.
Are there any other clients that connect directly to the AIM/MSN/YIM etc chat servers?
I was hoping to find some sort of definitive list while browsing around the forum, but thus far, I've been unable to look for one.
