thanks. I had taken the first option, IRQ (not IRC)  which I 
assumed was the one I wanted (gee I was only out by one 
char). In figuring out what to programs to download, I'd 
read about court cases with AOL which the gaim people didn't 
want to talk about. When I saw what I thought was IRC not 
being allowed to connect to anyone, I'd assumed that gaim 
wasn't allowed to have IRC except with a fixed server.

Now that this is fixed, I can now talk to myself using IRC. 
The server (ircd-hybrid) I'm using doesn't have jabber (I 
just assumed it did since it was one of the common 
protocols) so I couldn't talk to myself with jabber last 
night.

thanks for the clue
