Well now, isn't that wierd...  Since ICQ was working, I just copied
that port to the AIM counterparts; IIRC the AIM-server was ok.
Where's a good place to look for documentation on what port(s) to use?
Any idea what happened to clobber that?
Also, it appears that .gaimrc is no longer used (?)
Hmmm...

Thanks for you help though; at least it's "working" now (Yahoo
too, dunno *what* was going on there...) {shrug}.  ;)
