Even if AOL does put up an XMPP interface to AIM, it's never going to be opened up to the public like that. It'd only be accessible by those servers that they have approved, which would only be big companies with closed services they feel threatened by, I suspect. Anyone who threatens their single-company, monolithic-design model that AIM is based on, like full XMPP with open server-to-server connections, can't be welcome to AIM strategists. - -- Neil Stevens - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'A republic, if you can keep it.' -- Benjamin Franklin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFDq1Lgf7mnligQOmERAg7WAJ0de9qFpOdhXZdiqAmu8pTaQ9CF3wCeKTu0 fi4jK/9Ns+di7HVysXAr2yk= =jGpJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
