FYI, there are ICQ servers you can run locally, but not for AIM or MSN, I would suggest an IRC server.
IRC pretty much requires you to sit there watching it, and has lots of other limitations that make it less useful for this purpose than instant messenging.
Try Jabber; they have servers.
And, it can also talk to AIM, MSN, etc, although AOL is currently trying to make that stop working.
One more thing to try: Gale (www.gale.org). Built-in public key crypto - everyone has a key, messages are automatically encrypted, etc. It even comes with a Zephyr gateway for any MIT folks. :) David -- David Shaw | dshaw@jabberwocky.com | WWW http://www.jabberwocky.com/ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ "There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
