Carol,
Thank You. I'm trying to narrow down the ports that AIM
runs on. I have entered another post. Maybe someone
knows. You're right about AIM 5.5. They just run you in
circles and there is no way to contact them since I am
not an AOL subscriber. On their FAQ page, they tell you
to open ports 1024 through 5000. I'll probably do that if
I can't get a more specific answer. Once again, thanks
for your help.
Mike Casey
