ubuntu aol chat
 

this kid at work has access to aol chat on xchat through his ubuntu machine.

i can't ask how he did it - the culture of the groupe prevents it. i have ssh access to machines outside of the company network - in the DMZ and beyond.

I have looked for a way to set up the chat - can one of you point me in the right direction. ?

Perhaps he's running something like BitlBee?

http://www.bitlbee.org/

Ok so i apt-get the bitlbee and now what.
How do i add bitlbee to the xchat?
do i install one of there servers?
