Best one for webcams I have heard is Mercury Messenger. I really like Adium but not sure if it does webcams.

As already stated, Adium is what you should use if not using a webcam. I think aMSN allows webcams though?

aMSN hasn't been updated for quite a while.

Adium is excellent but lacks webcam support. You could always wait for 10.4.7 when iChat will supposedly do MSN.

aMSN works just fine for webcam. Though i only use it for cam, otherwise adium all the way

Is iChat like a multi-client app? So like you can use your AIM or yahoo messenger username, just not msn?

It's part of iLife, have a play with it if you've got it. It currently supports .MAC and AIM.

Well i would love to but i dont have a mac (yet). At the moment i'm just trying to find out about them before i "invest".

I've managed to get MSN working in iChat by setting up my own Jabber server. It's a bit long winded and it doesn't support video chat but it was something to do

aMSN is perfect with webcams.
