Comment(by pentor):

 Hello:

 My IT department just upgraded FaceTime 2 weeks ago.
 Siince hat time, any AOL connection in Pidgin goes down every 1.5 min (~
 90 sec).
 I have attached a DEBUG log (purple-debug.log).

 From the IT department:
 =======================
 "Regarding AOL, what version of AOL are you using?  Version 6.x is not
 supported at this time as AOL has made a change that requires a
 certificate."

 I would assume that Pidgin is accurately reflecting the latest
 implementation of AOL IM (version 6.8 AIM Client, or something close).  I
 would think that Pdigin is trying to use Certificates as well, in it's
 mimicing of AOL IM.

 I tested AOL IM Version 5.9.6089, and indeed it is "ROCK SOLID" under the
 new Facetime server.  So, it does seem directly tied to what IT noted.

 Is there any way, in the Pidgin client, to simulate the older AOL IM
 behavior ?
