Easy Message also connect to multiple networks like trillian and is much smaller.

I used to use a program called "Odigo" but since have switched to Trillian. I still haven't found anything better and for free.

There are several clients that support multiple networks.
You might be interested in Gaim (the windows version is still in the alpha stage) http://gaim.sourceforge.net/
or even some clients based on the Jabber protocol http://www.jabber.org/
On the Jabber website look under IM to search for client specifications.

I had never heard of Easy Message. It looks good though. The only thing I see it lacks is the IRC support, Trillian has it and that's my only way to get into any IRC stuff (even though I'm still a real beginner at it).

If you need the patch for pro, then you already have pro and can just download the patch from the site. If you don't have pro, then you just need the .74 patch.

Trillian Pro has its bugs, but for the right user, its great

My 13yo AOL loving sister tried it, and didn't like it, but personally I love it and would never go back to using 4 clients at once
