Send a message via AIM to phenious

Ok here is the deal. Originally in the school year AIM worked fine. But within a month we were hit hard by worms and virii and now the admin has locked this place up tighter then a drum. Now when you try to sign onto AIM it says that you are trying to sign on to fast again. From what I can tell it thinks that all students on the campus are on person trying to get onto AIM at the same time at once so it blocks most of the students trying to get online. If I try about 50 times and the timing is right i can get online but our net connection isnt the best so I normally get droped within 20 minutes of getting online. MSN Messenger works perfect though. Any suggestions? I clicked the link that the error provides and AIM data base says it can happen to large companies and schools and to submit the IP address and name of the school. I did that but never heard back from them and most people still cant get online. Any suggestions?

sorry it to so long to reply. I found the Aim express and it seems to work great it allows me to chat so that the main thing. I dont think it supports file transfers but I can use MSN for that. Thanks a lot If anybody has any more suggestions about getting the real AIM to work that would be great.

If the latest versions of aim arent working, then maybe u could try a third party program like Trillian that does aim instant messaging. If theyre blocking access to the aim servers, then it prob ownt work any better than aol's messenger, but its worth a shot.
