Well, the proxy will work for either. (You'll have to consult the Adium X
docs to figure out how to configure a proxy, though.)

Yes.

iChat won't connect to AIM, and will give a "can't connect to proxy"
error, or somesuch.

Yep. (Note, I'm pulling this off of my memory, and don't have a Mac in
front of me. So I can't describe the steps better -- there really should
be a FAQ and screenshots for this somewhere.) Also, you can't edit the
proxy settings while you're logged in. So, she'll have to disconnect from
AIM in order to do this.
