Yes, give Gaim a try. Gaim has supported ICQ for a very long time, but now
things are getting a bit more interesting - apparently AOL's new ICQ v7
protocol is based on AIM's OSCAR protocol. So, when you setup Gaim, just
select the "OSCAR" protocol (rather than "ICQ"), just like you would when
setting up an AIM account.
BTW, Gaim v.48 which was just released brings support for offline
messaging on ICQ/OSCAR, so you may want to grab a copy of that.
Best,
Tim
