"Join a Chat Room" not an option!

Post #135,125 by jb4 1/12/04 6:28:35 PM Reply	"Join a Chat Room" not an option! At least not until I get signed on, and that's the point that's failing. Exodus \| Sign On/Off<enter> Gives Profile dialog. Choose Default Profile (which is actially the only selection)...Hit OK "Trying to Connect" (spinney globe).......Disconnected...Reconnect in n seconds (value tends to change from try to try) Rinse. Repeat. (At some point, Exodus stops repeating the futile exercise.) OK, so I'm on the other end of a proxy. There is a CGI script that configures the proxy for both Insecure Exposer and Mozilla (and, miraculously,the same script works on both browsers!) In the Proxy tab, I have a Type: box with the cryptic choices: None, Version 4, Version 4a, Version 5 and HTTP. Doesn't look like there's a place for my cgi script anywhere... So how would chatzilla work here...? jb4 shrub\ufffdbish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating that facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT

Can you do, in a command window, "telnet iwethey.org 5222", press a bunch of keys and hit ENTER, and get "<stream:error>Invalid XML</stream:error>" in return?

Enter "telnet iwethey.org 5222" Get back Connecting To iwethey.org...<pregnant pause>Could not open a connection to host on port 5222 : Connect failed Try on Moz: "[link\|telnet://iwethey.org:5222\|telnet://iwethey.org:5222]" Opens Hyperterm(!)...<pregnant pause again>get message box: Unable to connect to iwethey.org on port 5222....OK (of COURSE it's not OK, but Micros~1 doesn't give you a "Not Fucking OK" button!) Will try at home on my dial-up connection...
