I found a 2005 DSL package of naim but it wants modprobe.

I downloaded the 2007 naim source code and did a configure and make 
which both worked, and then make check, which exited with errors and
undefined reference to _ctype_b
Lots of warnings about visibility from 'make'.
I used the slackware 11 glibc 2.3.6 but an older gcc 2.95.3 (SW8.1?).

I did not 'make install'.  Seems to work with just 'naim' executable
and libncurses.so.5 (and libc).  Have not tested it online since I don't 
know how to use aim or irc.  Let me know if it works for you.

About 1MB, or 400K stripped. 
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/naim-glibc236.tgz  about 150K

In the meantime I signed up my friend for a free sdf account, and 
validated it myself since I am a MetaARPA member (which means I pay 
$36/year for more storage space and other privileges which I don't
even understand).  sdf provides telnet and talk.

Someone suggested using mindterm ssh applet 
(http://cyberspace.org/mindterm/applet.html -
access this with a Windows browser)
which is java-based and should allow ssh'ing to visualserver, but 
they don't have talk installed there anyway (in addition to no telnet).
I requested that they install talk or ytalk.
