yes
www.jappix.com

here is the original post made by m4r0v3r in this thread Protocols plugin for conversations - MSN not working:

use jabber. I made the switch and it is soo much better than any of the plugins. go register at jappix.com, sign in and then theres a small button that says more stuff, find the msn transport and click on subscribe. enter your details, watch out for a notification at the top of the page and then just add everyone in.

hope it works for you as it worked for me

I love jabber, I've been using it for about a year now and wouldn't ever go back to AIM/MSN/etc, I love how it's encrypted and I can use my own server

All this Jabber stuff is TOO DAMN DIFFICULT!

Nearly ripped the screen off my laptop trying to figure out how the hell it works.

I'm done.

OK after my rage fit I finally got it working.

What a complicated system! And totally unintuitive to use. Just unsuable without instructions or a manual. Also, how can you add anything to your Jabber.org account? If you're fine with using online services, then using your Jabber.org account for Jappix.com works, but if you want it on your phone, skip making a Jabber.org account all together.

ARGH still a bit fustrated even its working now.

What's wrong with you? You create an account and fill in username/password in your client. Most clients will let you create an account right there. - As simple as it gets.
