[LV] Can Coccinella and other jabber clients talk to users of AOL Instant
Message?

[PT] - Yes. A number of jabber servers provide gateways to AIM, Yahoo, MSN and ICQ. These can
be found using the discovery protocol or by checking http://www.jabber.org/user/publicservers.php.
For instance, the jabber.org.uk server provides IRC, MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo. amessage.info has
a similar set and includes a e-mail gateway.

To use a foreign messaging system you normally need an account in that system. So you need to
create a Yahoo account and then provide the account details to the jabber gateway when registering.
After that users on the foreign system can be seen as if they were jabber users.
