Naim

Naim is a console client for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), ICQ, IRC, and CMC.

The features of Naim are :-

• zero-configuration peer to peer encryption
• automatic message queueing
• incoming message modification (to correct common spelling mistakes and expand common abbreviations)
• naim also includes powerful dynamic module support, allowing developers to modify all major aspects of naim’s behavior.
  • Third-party plug-ins have been used to extend naim’s functionality for use in embedded monitoring clients, and for use as host to automatic clients (’bots’).
  • The naim-modules package (distributed below) 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 great to use as a chat client as well as an answering machine. Individual users can detach, log out, pack up and go home, then log back in from anywhere on the Internet to resume their naim session.
• naim is maintained by an OPEN, DIRECTED COMMUNITY.
