Hey all

[Jeremie Miller]

So far, from what I've seen, libfaim is definately the way to go.  I was
thinking that a simple prototype AIM transport might be simple to whip up
with a little perl and TOC, but I haven't gotten that far yet...

An AIM transport would definately be great though, more power to you!

Thanks!
