1. Try to put some enters in your text so we don't get all on one long line.
2. Try to install aim from the ports collection: /usr/ports/net/aim.
   I've tried it once just for fun, but am more happy with everybuddy,
   which supports aim, icq (am not so sure about this one right
   now), msn-messenger, that yahoo-thingie and some more.
