2001-10-28 Thread Chris Flipse

Wondering if anybody knows of a functional, and not too hard to use, console-based AIM client. Doesn't have to be in a .deb (I havn't found one as a deb, really) but it would be nice if it didn't require too many contortions to get it usable. Bonus points for using the toc protocol. I am not su
