Perhaps could you use a Jabber gateway ?

I maintain the fritalk.com Jabber server and my users seem happy with the aim2.fritalk.com gateway.

What's wrong with gaim? I'm currently using it to connect to AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Sametime and occasionally IRC. It also does Napster, Gadu Gadu, GroupWise and Jabber.

Gossip works fine with AIM (ICQ and MSN). It just requires a transport on the server (or on a connected server).

What about using ICQ/AIM/MSN/whatever transports? Almost any public Jabber/XMPP server out there has at least some of them installed. And if not you could always run your own Jabber server with transports. And so Gossip will be able to communicate with ICQ/AIM/… users

Have you looked into Jabber transports? I use jaim.at’s AIM transport and it works great for basic chat.

I don’t think Gossip supports gateway registration, but if you log into your Jabber account from GAIM* and register from there it will work fine in Gossip.

After you’re registered with a gateway, just add you family’s AIM screenames as “aim-screename@aim.jaim.at”.

* I’m not sure if GAIM supports this either. I don’t remember how I registered.

Please don’t talk about my country as if you know what’s going on.
