I would like to know how to block AIM with my router/firewall (DI-604+) what port does AIM use to transmit

Block ports:
4000 and 5190

AIM might try other ports, so you might need to setup a proxy.

AIM can be configured to use just about any port, including 80.

assuming you're running DNS for this network, redirecting login.oscar.aol.com to 127.0.0.1 is a fun way to remedy this. it could be done with a HOSTS file also, but that's a little bit more of a pain in the ass.
