10 times in a row with Netscape 6.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1 and afterwards whenever I would try to send a im to another client it would say "Send failed for some reason.". Then my friend im'ed me back saying he was still online and once again I was able to IM again. Quite strange.
10 isn't enough. It takes much more then that. Also, I don't know about Netscape, but it looks like you can't send the message with WinAIM; it translates < to < --Matt
