Fix some iChat connection problems

There are days when I cannot connect to iChat's servers - well, actually to the AIM servers that iChat uses. The fix is simple yet odd. I use SSL with iChat, and all it takes to get the connection is to turn it off. Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts, click on your account, then click on the Server Settings tab. You must be offline to make changes here. If you have Use SSL checked, uncheck it, then connect. Disconnect, then reconnect it, if you still want to use SSL. I don't know why this works, but it does.
