Hi,

In August of last year, AOL killed the TOC protocol used by many 
third-party clients.  This disabled the AIM support on several of the 
clients in the IM locker.
Two of these, centericq and naim, were switched over to a different 
protocol within a month or two.
Unfortunately, the IM locker has not been upgraded to these new versions 
over the course of the year, leaving no ncurses-based AIM client 
functioning in the locker.

Are you planning on maintaining the locker with recent clients?  What can 
I do to see that the IM locker is usable for this again?
