Not really.  What Jabber allows for is "transports" on the Jabber
server side to allow a "transport-capable" Jabber client to connect
to services such as AIM "through" a Jabber session.

This would require that a Jabber server with the desired transports
installed be available, of course.  And AIM, in particular, has been
blocking the well-known Jabber servers.  Plus the transports have
historically been... um... a mite... undependable? for, uh, other
reasons.

Jim
