Yup there are a few text-mode aim clients. I use tnt which runs in emacs but It's kind of flaky and doesn't seem to be developed anymore. it's buddylist editor is broken somewhat and it doesn't convert those tags that get sent along with every message in aim. You also could use centericq but that can be a bit hard with speakup. I've found a program called naim to work pretty well. Do a google search and you should find it right away. I forget the url. If all else fails, you can use imserv on any of the irc networks that have it. irc.the-bofh.com has it installed. hth.
