   Notman, you should be able to set it up in Trillian (sans voice chat.) It uses the Jabber protocol. Set the connect server to talk.google.com, turn on TLS, port to 5222 and server to Gmail.com.

   Yup, I was saying it's a free package like Skype. I can't login to my my gmail, because I forgot the login. There seems to be no option to email you login details to the other email address you used when you registered.
