Strangely enough, I have never been able to connect to freenode while at the AOL offices. The DNS lookup succeeds, but the connections are always refused. In order to connect, I have to proxy my IRC connection through some other co-lo servers I have back at the University I attended.
So I'm not sure those of us actually at AOL would be able to participate unless someone figures out what's going on there. And I'm not sure the kind folks at the University who have been nice enough to let me keep my access would like me building and hosting an AOL IRC proxy ;)

I recently setup an aolserver room at irc.freenode.net. Hardly anyone hangs out there these days, but the conversations there are being logged and are available from http://www.thecodemill.biz/services//aolserver/irc/.
Maybe that IRC would be a viable alternatice to AIM?
