Re: using gaim to communicate over ssh to a jabber server

No.  You either use the SOCKS proxy, or you use the tunnel...not both. 
If you're using the SOCKS proxy, set server to the right thing (not 
localhost) and set the port to 5222 like normal, leave connect server blank.

If you're gonna use the tunnel, set it up, set the server to the right 
thing (not localhost), set port to the port for the tunnel, and set the 
connect server to localhost.
