How does it work now? Are you logged in only with your AIM screen name?

I am not familiar with Psi, but AFAIK, the AIM protocol does not have any way for you to send a nickname (like YMSGR does) to your buddies. And I have never heard of any protocol allowing you to change your login username and remain on your contacts' lists - you can see the inherent identity issues that would arise if this were allowed.

My suggestion is that you create a more professional AIM screen name and notify your AIM contacts, OR download the AIM client so that you can link your professional screen name and your old screen name, and use the appropriate screen name to talk to your friends and business contacts at the same time.

As a side note, this is the first I've heard of someone using AIM professionally. What business are you in, if you don't mind sharing?

And oh yeah, welcome to BBB!
