Yep, Yahoo upgraded their protocol, so it's giving Everybuddy the cold 
sholder here.  (That raises an issue, is EB-Lite affected?)

Errr, EveryBuddy 0.4.3 is deprecated now, replaced by EB-Lite.  Classical 
EveryBuddy is now known as Ayttm (Are You Talking To Me) -- 
<http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/>  I've been using Gaim a lot under Windows 
(haven't got around to writing a Win32 GUI to EB-Lite due to University 
commitments) and so far, that seems to be working.

Yeah.  Don't you love it when companies change their standards...
