Just wondering if there's any way I could obtain PyICQt while
jabberstudio is still down.  I'm thinking about running it on
jabber.org.au along with PyMSNt.

Also I take it that PyICQt is using one of the recent OSCAR based
protocols.  Can ICQ users talk to AIM users with it?  Also can AIM users
login with it (in which case, what's the difference between PyICQt and
PyAIMt)?

Thanks,

Jeremy

There are three that you should choose from: 0.5a, CVS and the one with my 
buddy list patches.
0.5a is the latest real release.

I think ICQ users can chat with AIM users, but I doubt that AIM users 
can log in using PyICQ-t. Atleast not work correctly, because it uses 
som ICQ specifik parts of the OSCAR protocol.

Yes, so long as you turn on the crossChat option you can communicate from
ICQ to AIM and visa versa.  I don't know that I strictly block AIM users
from logging in via PyICQ, but like Jonas said, I wouldn't recommend it. 
There are a lot of minor differences between how OSCAR is used for ICQ and
AIM.  I would almost phrase it as "ICQ has a lot of extensions".  =)
