of the second generation of its Instant Messenger client. AOL Instant
Messenger 2.0 will be available only for existing members, but will be
available for download on AOL.com after the first round of testing. David
Gang, AOL senior vice president of strategic development, declined to
comment about whether recently acquired Mirabilis' ICQ client technology would
be incorporated into the product.
