After searching around I found an AIM and other IM friendly client that doesn't make you use X. Heh, most people here already know I don't like GUI clients for IRC or AIM and have been searching for one that doesn't need X.

Well, I found this:

http://site.n.ml.org/info/naim/


It's called an Ncurses client which is about right, and some things look like IRSSI, my favorite IRC client.

One thing I've done so far, well, I downloaded it last night, it's a Bzip file, and I downloaded, got it out, and after untarring, I did the ./configure, make make install make clean, and started it up. It started up without a problem whatsoever, but when I type the stuff here:


/connection "MyScreenName" login.oscar.aol.com 5190

I get the message too type in my password, so I do that, and then it says nothing and says I'm still not connected. So it seems like a great application, but like, has anyone used it? I'm thinking more people should use it so bugs can get fixed, because I really like how this thing looks. I've seen how it looks and working with it is fairly easy and the configuration, is a snap. But I'm going to look over the manua now (Last resort).

Let me know if any of you find out anything or like it.

I have this installed on Slackware Linux 10 right now, and I know someone here has too want a tool like this as its all the fun of AIM and none of the RAM waste called a GUI.

TheJinx, hoe you better use this, you always whine about the UI of AIM
