hmm...I am sort of relying upon it to work. Kopete was worse...it says I
am connected but I know that I am not connected.

As it turns out, when I changed the server from scs.msg.yahoo.com to
cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com I connected with no problems but I would guess that
the cn means I am connecting to the yahoo server in China. For now, good
enough.

Thanks

Craig
