What are the im protocols

[sports fan Matt]

that connect to AIM & Yahoo simultaneously? Are there more then Kopete and Pidgin?

Kopete and Pidgin are clients, not protocols.

AIM's protocol is Oscar
Jabber & Google Talk's protocol is XMPP
I don't know if the others have special names, but I know MSN uses the SIP protocol for video.

Finch you can use. I use Finch. It uses the same libraries as Pidgin (libpurple) and uses the same accounts, so it is easy to use if you already have Pidgin configured.

Of course, it is CLI.

There's also Ayttm and Centericq. I've only used them for Yahoo though.
