[JDEV] Sending to OSCAR

[Adam Fritzler]

OSCAR exposes the flexibility of the AIM rate limiting system, most of
which is hidden in TOC.  Unfortunatly, it is not known exactly how it all
works.

So libfaim appears to have problems that TOC doesn't, but you can usually
work around most of the issues.  In the libfaim source, look at the
faimtest code that deals with rate limiting indicators.

It is not a 'limitation of OSCAR', its a feature.  The limitation is in
TOC for not exposing it.

This is probably a bit off-topic for jdev.
