it seems AIM/AOL has upgraded the TOC protocol as i've seen people calling it TOC2.

http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?p=28659 shows where to get the TOC2 plugin for miranda im.

here is one OCX/control (usually used for Visual Basic programing) by arub that you can use to connect to "TOC2" servers: ArubSocktoc 2

[s]it also seems as if gaim will support it in it's next version (as far as i can tell,which seems impressive already).[/s] some say gaim has never supported TOC even though it is listed on the protocols page of the gaim site.

adium already supports TOC2 (maybe?).

http://naimdoc.net/index.php/TOC_Issues explains how to connect to TOC2 using naim.

in other words it's probably not the server's fault (maybe AOL/AIM broke TOC1 or they upgraded to TOC2) it's your client's.
