and combines them into the functionality of Trillian. Some of the unified features
we're going to look at in this article are: Basic Messaging, SecureIM, Privacy Settings,

Basic Messaging is the original workhorse of instant messaging. It is Trillian's
two-way mechanism that allows you to type messages to your contacts.
SecureIM is the ability for Trillian to encrypt messages between to clients. SecureIM
does not authenticate its messages.

network.You can decide which clients to block and who to allow. Privacy also supports
notification when a client adds your client to their list.

client and allows you to download from a source im client.
Direct connection allows trillian to connect directly to another client with a proxy
or lookup service.
Group conferencing allows multiple client conversations to show in one window. Each
client in the conference can communicate with the others in the conference while
viewable to the other clients simultaneously.
Trillian allows the user to display pictures in the client window.
Trillian's mobile messaging allows trillian the ability to engage in IM from a mobile
handset using technologies such as SMS, WAP or GPRS. Check with Trillian to
determine which technologies are supported in the trillian mobile messaging environment.

client in which it is interacting with.
