AIM Express has some serious handshaking issues.

At least, it does from the library cluster here.

Not particularly usable.

You may be interested to know (or indeed, you may already know) that with appropriate setup, you can in fact use AIM from many phones via text-message. Not that I've been racking up the TXT charges this month playing around with stuff like this, or anything...

Yah, I looked at that. My provider isn't on the list of supported providers.

Just as well, really.

Update. I seem to have gotten it to work despite my provider not being one of the supported ones.

So, do you know if there's a way to initiate IM conversations using AIM's SMS gateway? Thus far I can reply to but not initiate IMs.
