What is Ahoihoi?

Ahoihoi is software for the Windows PC platform created by Versoworks that is built on top of the Open AIM platform created by AOL. It allows you to communicate over the U.S. based version of the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) network exclusively. Ahoihoi can be used as an alternative to the official AIM software for the Windows PC platform. You can read more about custom clients by visiting the AIM Enabled page.

What's with the name?

The name comes from the original term coined by Alexander Graham Bell to greet someone on the telephone. In more recent times, the term has been revived by Mr. Burns on The Simpsons.

What requirements does Ahoihoi have?

Ahoihoi works on Windows XP, Vista or 7 and requires Internet Explorer v6, 7 or 8.

Is Ahoihoi freeware?

A single licence for the pay version costs $9.95 USD. A license comes with 12 months of free updates and support, making it an exceptional value.
