Can you give some samples of connecting to ICQ, AOL, Yahoo and MSN servers?

I tried to find some sample but I didn't found any information about servers, encryption, etc

Hi Nestor.

wodXMPP cannot do it directly, but he can do it through services available on the server. So, connect to the server that has ICQ/AOL/MSN gateways. Discover their services, and then register with the service, and they can "pipe" data for you.

I suggest you try out VB "2. IM" example. Connect to the server, and look under 'available services' combo. Choose the service and then enter your login/pass for the service, and register with it.

Can you try that?

Kind regards,
Jasmine.

Jasmine,

Sorry but I think it's not clear to me.

When you say "connect to the server", which server?

Hi.

You should connect to XMPP server, since wodXMPP only speaks XMPP protocol. Then, your XMPP server should provide gateway to ICQ/MSN/AOL and other services. If they don't, try to get yourself account on other XMPP server that provide such a service.

Hi.

I'm not personally using XMPP anymore so I can't give any personal advice. But if you google for 'xmpp server list' you should find many answers, such as this one:

https://list.jabber.at/

such XMPP server list sometimes also show which services they provide, such as this list:

http://www.jabberes.org/servers/

so perhaps you should pick some server from there?

Kind regards,
Jasmine.
