OSS AOLers have been working hard to figure out AOL's proprietary protocol for their online service and popular AIM messenger.

This document "The AOL Protocol" gives in depth information on the login and handshaking between the AOL client and servers:

Also visual basic source code and more at:

http://www.aol-files.com

under "AOL Protocol & Sign on and IM example"

Finally a nearly full, but unofficial specification for the AIM protocol at "FAIM":

Great information for anyone who might think about implementing either of these very popular services under OS/2.
