I used to have a Sidekick. It connected to Danger Inc's servers before connecting to AIM. If your phone got disconnected it would wait a set ammount of time to see if you reconnected and then it would send you any "missed" messages when you connected.

Is there anything like that for WM devices?

IE: Can I use my home computer/network as some sort of "always-on-proxy"?

If I get a phone call or loose connection for a few seconds (no signal, roaming, weird tower switching, etc) it will disconnect me from AIM. Between the time that I'm actually disconnected and while AIM servers still thinks I'm connected (before switching it to send via SMS) it will loose any messages that are sent to me.

Is there anything out there that would fix this and give me more of a "sidekick" like feel to IMing?

If it matters, I should add:

My current WM device is a Titan (Sprint Mogul). dcd's 1.6.8 clean ROM, 1.47 Radio ROM. I'm also using IM+ (but have tried others) for AIM messaging.
