(About the author)
 
     Pronounced Slim-S-N This is a clone of msn messenger (.net messenger). I call it slimsn because it is a slimed down version of msn messenger. You can do most all of the things that can be done with msn messenger even if you have to send commands directly. It is a sort-of clone of msn messenger (.net messenger). It communicates with the Microsoft servers through the msnp7 protocol. It is based on code provided by Venkat Mani at venkydude.com. Thanks Venky. Please leave me some comments so that I can find ways to improve it. Comming soon: notification of your buddies comming online and a auto-login function.

Your firewall probably has port number 1863 closed. Unless this port is open then there is no way to connect. Sorry.

FOUND !!!!!!! rsrsrs
The "Out of stack space" problem is related to the decimal simbol format.
You use the (.) and in (at least Portugal, my country) we use (,).
So the problem keeped stacking errors related to the function getTimeStamp().
When you do:
138 sFraction = Split(sFraction, ",")(1)
I had to replace the "." with ",".
Well one less problem, BUT the server still doesn't let me in. It closes the socket. Any idears ?
Tanxs.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Found the problem with NOT connecting.
OUT: VER 1 MSNP7 MSNP6 MSNP5 MSNP4 CVRO{\CRLF}
IN: VER 1 0{\CRLF}
OUT: INF 2{\CRLF}
They return that no protocol is allowed anymore.
On the other hand if you:
OUT: VER 1 MSNP9 MSNP8 MSNP7 MSNP6 MSNP5 MSNP4 CVRO{\CRLF}
IN: VER 1 MSNP9 MSNP8{\CRLF}
OUT: INF 2{\CRLF}
They respond that it accepts those two protocols.
The problem is that this program doesn't support it.
YES, I LOVE DEBUGGING :D
