I'm not sure if there is an opensource AOL server however the jabber
project has come quite far:
www.jabber.com (has a free windows client and they produce a "commercial"
jabber server {ie. "redhat jabber" }
www.jabber.org (the original jabber site hosts the server/transport
development)
www.jabbercentral.com (hosts links to various client products and news)
jabber is cool since it's A> opensource
b>has "transports" that allow communication with other IM and chat related
protocols
unless there is a specific reason to stick with aim I would recommend
going with jabber there is a "commercial looking" IM client for windows at
jabber.com the linux / windows/ mac/newton ones avail on jabbercentral.com
aren't bad either
let me know what you think..
I use jabber since somee people I know use AOL others use ICQ so it allows
me to merge those into one client package..
