There's a grey area with some that you need to keep in mind. I'll give you a perfect example: irc/bitlbee. bitlbee is an IM-to-IRC gateway. It acts as a stand-alone IRC server, but it bridges Windows Live/MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo!, and Jabber to IRC so that you can talk with IM contacts using an IRC client. So -- does this program go under net-im or irc? You can see my point. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
