>Use ICQ accounts, and use Trillian for your IM client. Trillian will let you integrate different instant messaging clients including ICQ, MSN (which I presume you mean by IM) and Yahoo!

ICQ will still truncate the message after 450 characters if it can't make a direct connection & has to pass the msg though their server.
