I'm well aware of the TOK protocol, and their published specs on it. This
will eventually turn into an 'interesting' situation, as the protocol will
eventually be republished, with additional functionality involved. We (The
Jabber Project, www.jabber.org) have had contact with several people at AOL.
Basically, they DO want anyone to have access to AOL IM, as they have 'buisness
use' for the user data registered. They are also going to eventually release
an AIM server, that ISP can run their own IM system, but there are even more
catches in there that we can't talk about..
