What's old... is new again!·escargot.chat
Escargot is a service that revives old versions of MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger, allowing legacy chat clients to connect and communicate again after Microsoft shut down the original service. It supports most versions of MSN Messenger (1-8) and Windows Live Messenger '09, with newer versions ('11, '12) not yet supported. The project is open source and shares a development team with its sister project NINA, which revives AIM/AOL/ICQ services and supports Escargot login.
