[PLUG] Yahoo IM

[Robert Kopp]

Yahoo instant messaging is by now probably the most popular protocol used for that purpose. Yet when I recently attempted to use it on Linux and BSD, I had to change scs.msg.yahoo.com to 66.163.181.173 in order to make it connect. Kopete and Pidgin wouldn't resolve it, though they worked fine on the other IM services. Anyhow, I hope the dotted-quad doesn't change, or that I can find out what the new one is if it does.
