gaim
GPL multi-protocol instant messenger client - Gtk+ version Gaim is a Gtk+ based instant messenger client that supports the TOC and OSCAR (and hence ICQ) AIM protocols, as well as providing plugins for the Gadu-gadu, IRC, Jabber, MSN Messenger, Napster, old ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger and Zephyr protocols. As the name suggests, it was originally designed for using AOL's Instant Messenger service (you can sign up at http:// www.aim.aol.com/). Consequently it contains many of the same features as AOL's IM client, as well as incorporating many new features, such as the multiple protocol support. This version is compiled without GNOME support, making Gaim a stand-alone Gtk+ program.
