| 84 Oscar is the "default" protocol now, because it supports every feature that TOC | |
| 85 supports and more (except file transfer, but TOC doesn't do file transfer very | |
| 86 well), and is in general more reliable than TOC. When you add new accounts it | |
| 87 defaults to using Oscar (you can specify TOC or any other protocol); when gaim | |
| 88 can't figure out which protocol you wanted to use (e.g. when you type in a | |
| 89 screenname into the Login window for an account gaim doesn't know about), it | |
| 90 will sign it on using Oscar. It is also recommended that you use Oscar instead | |
| 91 of TOC. | |
