Referencias Note 1: Plugin available
Note 2: Plugin available
Note 3: Interoperability with proprietary protocols can be achieved using server-side gateways (so-called transports) in XMPP.
Note 4: Plugin available, but requires installed and running Skype.
Note 5: LAN and chat protocols supported for Miranda include NetSend, WinPopup, Novell Netware NCP, BattleNet, Vypress Chat, Quick Chat, and Walla Chat.
Note 6: Uses the AIM TOC2 protocol, which has fewer features than the Oscar protocol the official client uses. An Oscar plugin is available, but is still in early development.
Note 7: Plugin available
Note 8: Can only enter one ICQ/AOL IM account, so users who have both an ICQ number and an AOL IM account name, can't use both.
Note 9: Text-based messaging only; does not support Bonjour/iChat's audio IM functionality.
Note 10: Probably text-based messaging only, without support for Bonjour/iChat's audio IM functionality.
Note 11: Plugin available, but requires Skype to be installed and running.
Note 12: AIM interoperability: can send/receive to AIM from an ICQ account.
Note 13: The support is optional. It currently isn't feature-complete, but basic operations should be fine.
Note 14: Claims to be supported, though frequently fails to receive or deliver messages, and tends to crash when receiving multiuser chat invites or file transfer requests.
Note 15: Feature incomplete. Lacks service discovery and transport support, making user search, multiuser chat, connections to other IM networks via XMPP difficult or impossible.
