It's not being developed anymore (just bugfix releases), but BitWise IM is very nice:

It's got a cool whiteboard feature. It also uses direct connections, so things should be super fast for LAN usage.

I went with this one and it looks and works great on both the mac and pc.

Well be sure to let us know how it is, it does look interesting.

And get Skype anyway, a lot of AT'ers use it, we have some good chats. 🙂

Trillian. One app does AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, MSN and IRC. Logs you on to all when you start it up. The free version works fine, but if you want to video or vioce chat you need to buy the Pro version.

oh the days in our networking class where we just netsended eachother and screwed around by putting things, like quicktime installer, in a friend's startup. and esheep. oh I miss esheep. :evil: getting like 20 of those guys running on startup was a hilarious adventure


as for OP:
just use pidgin. Get a second AIM account and have pidgin manage both. don't log on the other account when you don't want to.
