middle_man 0.3.0004

Middle_man is a free plugin for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). By using proxy technology to tunnel the AIM connection through itself, middle_man is able to remove some of the restrictions from AOL.
These restrictions range from features that AOL has not yet incorporated into its Instant Messenger, to features that have been simply underdeveloped. Middle_man provides the ultimate instant messaging experience for both the average users and the power users by allowing them to customize their instant messenger as they see fit.
With middle_man you can:
- log their instant messages (normal, secure, directly connected)
- log their chat messages
- log their buddys last profile
- log their buddys status events (sign on/off, away back)
- log files from direct connections
- sign on multiple screen names at once
- remove advertisements on their buddy list
- rename buddies on their buddy list
Main features:
- Buddy List Customization - Commonly known as "Ad Removal", this feature is a set of options allowing you to customize your buddy list. The most popular of these options is the ability to remove the advertisements from your buddy list.
- Logging - Logging is the ability to automatically store any of your instant message or chat room conversations on your computer. Then, at any time you can look at the conversation and see what was said. For those of you who do not like the idea of your conversations being recorded, this feature is optional. Middle_man will also store your buddys profiles, your buddys status (sign on/off, away/back), and the files they send you.
- Cloning - Just like in science, cloning is the ability to make a clone of your AOL Instant Messenger. With the clone, youll be able to sign on with a different screen name. You can clone AIM as many times as you like.
- Aliasing - With aliasing, you can rename your buddy to anything you want (i.e, name "JohnX23Jaynes" to ."John".
