FAQ:
Q: I tried this for an AIM Instant Messenger user and it did not work. Why?
A: Unconfirmed Internet Users that are running AIM Instant Messenger (separate
download from AOL) are not yet queryable. Only AOL users that are
connected directly to that network can be queried.
Q: Are you going to add support for MSN Messenger?
A: As the second most popular instant message client, we certainly hope so.
While we are currently looking at this option, we are also trying not to
be in hot water over the service this control provides. We hope the major
network providers will recognize that this control only does what the human eye
does when it looks onscreen to the user's icon indicating if they
are available or not.
Q: Are you going to add support to let the user send an instant message using
the chosen protocol directly from the web page the control is hosted on?
A: Yes. We hope to have this incorporated by 06 June
Licensing:
-
The control is free to download and evaluate.
-
It is $20 for a commercial use, one server, unlimited processor license.
-
Upgrades are available at no cost to registered users.
