Using Phoenix AIM with Spectrum2 (Screenshot)

Asha	[Quote] Here is an image of AIM using Spectrum 2. I maintain the best approach is a Spectrum2 like interface for XMPP clients on Mobile devices.

Asha	[Quote] This was done using Conversations on Android, connecting to a Prosody server, which is in turn connected to a Spectrum2 Server running the AIM Purple Module for Pidgin.

Asha	[Quote] I'm a Linux user. I have never run Windows since the days of DOS, and Windows 9x. I used Pidgin during the near entire duration of AIM, MSN, and YIM's existence as a service. It would be a serious and confusing headache to load AIM on Wine.

- nothing serious or confusing when all I did was copy the AIM files from another machine and double click the executable and away it went, with less headache than running it on modern windows versions.

I would much rather increase the functionality of the server with Pidgin and Spectrum2. I consider running an old AIM Client in Wine a wasted effort unless it gets the encryption working.

Likewise I'd like to see the Yahoo side of this working too.

I never used the AIM Official software during the entire duration of the existence of AIM. I always used what was Pidgin at the time, during the 17 some odd years I used AIM.
