Any way to be logged onto AIM with 2 SN's at the same time?

Will Trillian allow you to log in twice? Or one with Trillian and one with AIM? I haven't attempted to try 2 versions of aim at once yet. I'm at work and not on a windows machine to try it out. IRIX is cool, but has it's drawbacks.

I think AIM+ will allow you to do that.

 

[d1abolic]

One AIM one Trillian? Or maybe you can have two Trillians running?

 

[aphex]

Use AIM for one, then go HERE (and click START) for the second.

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

is AIM+ that thing they want you to pay for? Definitely not gonna pay to do this

My guess is that Trillian and Aim will probably be the best bet. I don't like the quick buddy thing, which I wanted to try and stay away from. I use the old version via IRIX and Linux browsing here at work. I know that will definitely work, I've done it before.

I wont be able to try it out till after 1 a.m. I'm currently at work, bored, thinking about random stuff

I can logon to as many AIM screennames as I want to by a process where I "clone" the AIM client. It requires hex editing the aim.EXE file, though. I have ten aim clients set up in folders AIM1, AIM2, AIM3, etc. I may be able to send the already hexed EXE's to you if you want to go this route (you need AIM 4.7)

The number of AIM clients you can have running is limited by your systems ability (resources, memory, etc) and perhaps a cap on the number of AIM connections that AIM will allow you to have from your internet address.

Anyone know if it's possible to sign on to two different names if you use different users under WinXP? I have my user that's the primary one on the computer, but my brother wants to leave his signed on. If I create a user for him and he logs on, can we both run AIM at the same time from the same computer?

Yes, I do it all the time, with my kids screen names and my own.

with trillian it is possible to have more than one aim account signed on.

I thought so. Thanks.

Here's another vote for AIM+, since it's really nice and easy. I love that program!

Is it the newest version, or an older one? I've never used trillian before, never had seen the need until now. I wanted to try and keep resources uses down, that's why I wanted to find 1 client that could do it.


Yoda, what is AIM+?

 

[rutchtkim]

Another vote for AIM+, Hex editing is not stable all the time.

 

[yakko]

I just run it on multiple computers. I am on with 4 names right now.

Yet ANOTHER vote for AIM +. It has a cloning feature. I had like 8 AIMs going at once one time for a minute or 2 No, you dont pay for it. It also has a nifty AIM+ History you can activate so those people who go back on what they say earlier you can copy what happened from months ago as long as you dont clear it I dont use it on this computer though so its relatively safe to IM me. Mine crapped out after i sort of helped the HD die and I'm currently on an even slower one.

 

[zeruty]

trillian can do it easily
I usually have two accounts logged in, in one instance of trillian
I've had up to 5 before
only disadantage is it merges all of the buddylists together, which is actually how I prefer it... so it's an advantage to me

 

[Braves]

AIM+ is great, although I think there are a couple bugs with it... mostly in the editing profile section and various progz that i've used which get confused by AIM+'s coding or something. But yeah, AIM+ will do the trick for you, it's fast, easy, just like AIM, and now that I'm having personal problems I like to use the built in chat logger and reread the happy conversations i've had in the past

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

gonna try Trillian first and see how I like it. Then it'll be AIM+ if I'm not satisfied. Thanks guys

 

[stosil]

AIM+ is free isnt it?Is there such thing as a text based aim app for windows?

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

trillian seems cool for now. Took me a little while to get multiple AIM sn's set up, just cuz it wasn't intuitive at first. Makes sense now.

 

[dakata24]

i like trillian cuz of the skins.. only thing is that it doesnt save profiles in 0.725.

 

[xirtam]

You could also just use Aim for one SN and Trillian for the other...

except that trillian will do both, and I wanted to try and use 1 client to keep resource usage down.

 

[xirtam]

Oh, my bad. I looked at your second question and it asked "Or one with Trillian and one with AIM" and was going to reply "yes." I haven't tried multiple logs with Trillian.
