I tried my AIMM (Classic v1.5) IM client yesterday and today and for the
first time ever it failed to connect, now matter how long I let it sit
there. AIM 4.7 (for OS 9) continues to lock up my machine most times I
launch it. Anyone know if AOL has finally blocked ports 5898, 5989,
9898, the only three I know to use? Any other available ports I may not
know about?

Thanks! :)

Works ok for me. OS9 AIm 4.7, which is buggy but functional.
