-TOC is working reasonably well. The options to use a proxy got moved to the

+Oscar is the "default" protocol now, because it supports every feature that TOC
+supports and more (except file transfer, but TOC doesn't do file transfer very
+well), and is in general more reliable than TOC. When you add new accounts it

+will sign it on using Oscar. It is also recommended that you use Oscar instead
+of TOC.
