Have you tried tik? It's a tcl/tk-based AIM client that packaged as
part of Debian, and it's Free Software. It was originally supported by
AOL as a AIM alternative for *nix types, but has been abandoned by
them. Stil works, though...(hold on, lemme check...yup!) It runs on
the older TOC AIM messenging protocol, rather than the newer one,
OSCAR (which seems to be the reason that it hasn't suffered the wrath
of AOL like Jabber, et al.) Not a bad lil' package, really.
