[JDEV] Theoretic.com Now Blocked

[Kevin Smathers]

The only solution I can think of is to move the AOL transport out to
the client.  Actually the ability to open multiple simultaneous server
connections from the client would solve another problem for me as well;
I regularly need to work with both internal and external Jabber servers.

Then you could treat the AIM transport as just another Jabber server
cluster as far as the client is concerned (albeit one with a closed
set of participants).  I suppose there is an issue of transparency,
especially when the user is offline, but AIM like Jabber will I think
queue messages for users not currently online.  That part should be
solvable.

Cheers,
