Hmm. I am on v.722 and I'm still connected. I think I'll just never reboot my PC and I'll be fine.. yeah... Glad I'm running Win2K.
The only way I got on with .722 was via some goofy trick explained on the Trillian forums where you join a random chat room as soon as you get connected. That somehow keeps you on. I don't know if that trick would work with .724 as well, but I'm not going to bother trying right now. I really don't want to run 2 chat clients, or have to run AIM's crappy client at all.
What a PITA this has been.
