A replacement application for TMSNC is being developed here: http://www.fama-im.org

Fama adds improved stability, flexibility (with support for other protocols), full UTF-8 support and much more. You may still download old releases of TMSNC, however there is no maintenence of the code. Give Fama a chance instead.

TMSNC is a textbased (console) MSN client written in C. TMSNC should work on most Unix (Linux, BSD, MacOS) compatible operating systems. The goal of this project is to create a client like MSN Messenger (with sound, webcam and file transfer support), but without any graphical features.

TMSNC is an opensource project which is released under the IR Public Domain License which basically is a modification of the BSD license.

I, Sanoi, will not spend much time on this project any longer as I concider it quite stable and feature rich in its current state. I am currently working on a project which eventually could replace tmsnc; http://www.fama-im.org. If anyone would like to take over this project you are welcome.

Latest release of TMSNC is version 0.3.2. You can download it here. If you don't want to download it, here are a couple of screenshots for you to see what you are missing. E-mail Sanoi if you've got any questions or suggestions.

If you are interested in trying out the development version of TMSNC, execute the following command in your shell (svn required):
svn co http://www.rl6.org/rl6/tmsnc

The interface is textbased and it is written in the Ncurses library. You must have Ncurses >= 5.4 installed to be able to run TMSNC.

• OpenSSL (>=0.9.7d)
• NCurses (>=5.4)

TMSNC is released under the IR Public Domain License.
