For those curious I contacted AOL and asked when the new AOL Triton Instant Messenger may be JAWS accessible. For what its worth the following is there response. Sounds as if the older version will have to do for now. I understand that you have question about the compatibility of Jaws with the AIM service. The feature you are asking for is not yet available. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you. The AIM service must be expanded and enhanced in order to support the feature you have asked about. We are always interested in making improvements to the service and rely heavily on the feedback and suggestions we receive to make your online experience more enjoyable. Many of the changes made throughout the years have been the result of suggestions and ideas offered to us by members just like you. If you think that there is an area worth keeping or creating, we would like to hear it. Please feel free to write us again about your comments and suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to write to AOL Ada A. AOL Customer Care Consultant Slade
