I checked and I guess the port is variable on AIM, and so as long as you can set every AIM on the lan to a different port then packet fowarding can be performed and no mix ups will occur. I guess the port that AIM is listening on is registered with some centeral server so a sender of a msg can know what port to designate in the packet it sends. That is the only way that I can think of that it would work.
