naim 0.11.7.2 is now available through the Cygwin package system.
naim is a console client for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), AOL I Seek You (ICQ),
Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and The lily CMC.
* naim includes unique features like zero-configuration peer to peer
encryption, automatic message queueing, and incoming message modification
(to correct common spelling mistakes).
* naim also includes powerful dynamic module support, allowing plug-ins to
modify all major aspects of its behavior. The naim-modules package
(distributed separately) includes several example plug-ins, including a
telnet server (nsocket), an interactive bot (naimusers), and a simple
anti-spam measure (nantispam).
* When combined with GNU Screen, naim is a great way to stay online
constantly, allowing for instant communication when the user is attached
and acting as an answering machine when detached. The user can detach from
naim, log out, pack up and go home, then log in again from anywhere on the
Internet to resume the naim session.
naim is maintained by an OPEN, DIRECTED COMMUNITY, and has been in
development since October, 1998. More information is available from:

The pursuit of pretty formulas and neat theorems can no doubt quickly
degenerate into a silly vice, but so can the quest for austere
generalities which are so very general indeed that they are incapable
of application to any particular. -- Eric Temple Bell, Mathematician
