   FYI, there are ICQ servers you can run locally, but
not for AIM or MSN, I would suggest an IRC server.

IRC pretty much requires you to sit there watching it, and has lots of
other limitations that make it less useful for this purpose than instant
messenging.

Try Jabber; they have servers.

And, it can also talk to AIM, MSN, etc, although AOL is currently trying
to make that stop working.
