By "recent versions of Ubuntu", I mean the last 4 or 5 versions of Ubuntu - am currently on version 11.04.
The comment about MSN removing its servers is very old news. I don't know why the Protocols Support list still refers to it as it certainly is not the current reason why MSN AV chat is non-functional over a WAN. As I said, it is completely functional on a local area network.
It is my understanding that both Empathy and aMSN use the package python-papyon. So when aMSN 0.99 arrives with full AV chat, Empathy will have it too.
