The real solution here would be for AOL to build an AIM-Jabber bridge, so you would just send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the bridge translates that to AIM. Having AOL host the bridge would solve so many problems, foremost being that not every single Jabber server has to run the AIM transport. I think if anybody has enough clout to push AOL into this, Google might be it especially considering that they recently invested a good chunk of money in AOL. Hmm. Now I'm wondering if the two are related. Corey
