amsn supports video chat but im pretty sure it doesnt support yahoo at all (not even chatting)

i had a look in the amsn homepage and there is no mention of it working with yahoo and there actually is a poll with feature request and yahoo interoperability is in the features request..

passionguy, just install a couple of programs and try them out.. if they dont work u can always uninstall
