[Serusers] Connecting to ser with MS Messenger

Hi, I've got ser installed and running (0.8.10 on Linux 2.4.18-18.8.0) I attempt to connect to it with MS "Windows Messenger" version 4.7.0104 on WindowsXP, but it never connected and I don't see anything in the logfile showing even an attempt to connect. Just to make sure that I didn't have any firewall rules blocking access, I wrote a little script to connect to port 5060 on the sip server and send it "Asdf\n", that appeared to work fine, as this appeared in my log: Jan 6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR: parse_first_line: message too short: 5 Jan 6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR:parse_first_line: bad message Jan 6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR: parse_msg: message=<Asdf > Jan 6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR: receive_msg: parse_msg failed So it appears that packets can get to the sip server fine from the machine that runs the Messenger client. I also ran serctl moni and didn't see any different output when I tried to connect with Messenger, i.e. there is no indication that a connection attempt is even made. Is there another IM client I can try connecting with? Any other tricks to know about Messenger other than what I found at: http://www.iptel.org/ietf55/use_msn.html BTW, this is using the mysql module and I created a user with serctl Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 ser: ser startup succeeded Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14068]: mod_init(): Database connection opened successfuly Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14068]: INFO: udp_init: SO_RCVBUF is initially 65535 Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14068]: INFO: udp_init: SO_RCVBUF is finally 131070 Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14068]: INFO: udp_init: SO_RCVBUF is initially 65535 Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14068]: INFO: udp_init: SO_RCVBUF is finally 131070 Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14080]: INFO: fifo process starting: 14080 Jan 6 10:53:50 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14080]: SER: open_uac_fifo: fifo server up at /tmp/ser_fifo... thanks, -joe
