Connect Google Talk to AIM, MSN, & Yahoo

I happened to connect to ursine.ca's Yahoo transport thro' Gaim, happened to be that they dont have their Yahoo transport working.

While searching I found some Linux packages for Jabber's Yahoo transport. Would that mean I can connect to yahoo using my local machine?

One good thing I note about using MSN using PSI (thro Jabber MSN transport) is that I can see when the contact last changed status. Bad thing, it shows my contact offline as I initiate a conversation :-s

One big question I have is, other than having all contacts in one, is there any advantage using it this way? can I conference with a MSN and GTalk contact at on one window (me acting as a bridge through this transport thingie) ?

Narayanan, I found the same problem with online status (initiate a chat and they immediately appear offline). The messages still go through.

As for the Yahoo transport, I don't believe you can run it locally, unless you're running a Jabber server connected to the Internet.

And this method does not create true interoperability (i.e. Google Talk to MSN). You're still using your MSN credentials (on ursine.ca or whatever Jabber server you chose) to connect you with your MSN contacts.

If you want to add a Yahoo transport, it's been reported that yahoo.netlab.cz will work. I haven't confirmed that, but jack1 on digg said it worked for him.

Does netlab.cz's Yahoo transport allow you to register at the first place ? It get the 'Fetching registration form for yahoo.netlab.cz' alert, but no response since then :(

I tried this configuration on Gaim:

Protocol: Jabber
Screen Name:
Server: njs.netlab.cz (or shud i be specifying yahoo.netlab.cz here ? but it does'nt seem to connect otherwise)
Resource: Yahoo
Password:
Port: 5222
Connect Server: yahoo.netlab.cz

For this config, Gaim seems to register and logon (!) but does'nt retrieve my buddy list or anything. Neither does my yahoo screen name show up online from my other id. My guess is, its trying to logon to the jabber server using my yahoo screen name. But if I flip the Connect Server and the Server field values, it just shows as disconnected from the server.

As to their registration, I noticed on Psi that it never completed, but it did work after doing a "refetch registration form" or something like that when right-clicking on the transport on my contact list. Then after making sure I could get all my contacts, and actually log on, I closed the initial "getting registration" thing.

A silly question: How do I refetch registration in PSI ? If I try 'Register' when its fetching the registration form. The focus goes back to the 'Fetching registration' dialog.

Now that GTalk has enabled remote archiving in gmail. The jabber transports we use here too get archived :)

I was excited about this idea so I imediatly did everything but I was very dissapointed when the contacts did not show up in Google Talk. Everything else worked as described except the last vital step of it actully working.

I have a feeling that the transport is trying to connect to msn even if i dont sign in. some of my friends have reported me saying that they get auto-replies with whatever message they send.

I had to change my password and dont use this Jabber transport temporarily.

Is there anyone who's encountering a similar problem?

Yeah, I just kinda stopped using Gtlak - MSN altogether, so now I'm on Gtalk and using Windows Live Messenger, but it get's rid of the problems. Just, the MSN transport was way too buggy to even use, so I didn't think others liked the way it auto-replied back to them, and I didn't like the lack of people IMing me.
