Hi all,

Is there an app for OSX which supports all of the different IM programs in the one package? For instance you can chat with people using ICQ, with MSN, with AOL, with iChat, etc? Such an app exists for Windows - is there a Mac equivalent?

Cheers,

Wet Jimmy.

FYI, people on iChat are using AOL. It's just another client for AIM.

But, the two answers you've gotten are the only ones I know of.
