Remember AOL, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, even Q-Link? We do too. That's why we're bringing them back.
Let's go back to the basics - when you hoped your modem would connect to the internet, when you changed
your away message to tease someone, when you used to chat endlessly with people from all around the world. It's back, baby!
We're working to primarily rebuild the original AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), AOL Desktop, Yahoo and ICQ platforms as close to the originals as possible, and
document the entire thing.
AIM is now freely available, however ICQ is still in the beta stage and access is exclusive to supporters. We offer support for all versions of AIM including mobile apps. Currently our ICQ support is for versions 2000a through 8.x.
Our custom server currently supports AOL 4.0, but is still in the alpha stage, exclusive to supporters.
You can learn a bit more about the situation on the Connecting to AOL page.
Yahoo! Messenger support is publicly available and interoperates with our Escargot network.
The precursor to America Online - for the Commodore 64.
You've Got Mail! The classic AOL client.
AOL's chat service.
Still remember your ICQ number?
Buzzzzz!
