Lightbulb AIM Random Away Message System

AIM RAMS is an Idea in the makeing. Simple it is, what its name implys. A progarm that spits out a random away message.

I am working on the saveing and opening of saved away messages right now, but do not know how to have java listen to a port, find out where the message was sent from, and send one back though the port.

In truth, I am still not sure if AIM works via ports. But that is why I am asking.

Please help me on this project. I want it to fly, but am not quite sure, how to do it right now.

VIST JAVA SRC/PROJECT for more info on AIM RAMS

Send a message via AIM to ZenMasterJG
you'd probably have to do some ugly things within the AIM protocol, which is closed, so back-engineering it is difficult. I'd suggest you write your project (at least initially) as a plugin for gAIM written in perl.
You'd probably have more luck that way.

Edit: Screwed up my hyperlink. Fixed!
