AIM Tamer

This is a small program I quickly wrote to handle AIM when it likes to lock up the computer. First start this program, then try to start AIM, if AIM hangs the PC click the button on this program it will terminate the AIM service and the computer will unlock. AIM Tamer 2 is a rewrite of the orignal, now with the ability to automatically detect the AIM process and if it's locked up the pc or not.

Phoenix Port Mapper

This is a small program I quickly wrote to forward the ports used by AIM direct connection in your routers NAT table, it will only work if you are in the same subnet as your internet bridge / router and if your bridge / router supports UPNP.
