AOL
Scoates never answer me . Anyone else here that uses AOL? I wanna chat using my Basilisk II AOL IM .
Were you referring to AOL's built-in instant messager (FAT binary; PPC+68k)? Or the separate "AIM for Macintosh" (68k only)?
Also, you should know that AOL has more or less disabled practically all features for anything older than AOL 9.0. AOL 5.0 for OSX likely also doesn't work either, so you can be sure that if you have AOL 3.x or older (2.7, 2.6.x, etc), they won't work....... rather, they will connect, but you won't get any content. If you simply want to chat, I'd recommend that you simply find a suitable, stand-alone instant messenger/instant messager program that works under 68k and your version of the Mac OS. With that said, you can have a look here for the old AIM.... http://pure-mac.com/irc.html#aolim

I use AIM via Bitlbee. There is someone called 'scoates2' on AIM, as I added them, but I am 'scoates2@mac.com' as I originally registered for use with iChat a few years ago.
Also, yesterday was my 20th birthday

Back when I had more free time, I wrote a little guide about bitlbee in a 68k mac (with Stephen's help):
