Thank you all for the rapid response....jabber is exactly what I was looking for.....i had heard of it but thought that it was only a client for a yahoo/ICQ/aim type I'm network Dan Lansing -----Original Message----- From: Austad, Jay [mailto:JAustad at temgweb.com] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 1:09 PM To: 'tclug-list at mn-linux.org' Subject: RE: [TCLUG] instant messenging Jabber! http://www.jabber.org. I just set it up a few days ago, and I'm using Exodus for a windows client. It will probably require some tweaking in the jabber.xml file to get it going, but if you follow the instructions you shouldn't have too much trouble. Unfortunately, it's missing one feature I need. Because of certain government laws, I will soon be required to log *all* conversations and keep them for a period of 7 years. Currently, there is no way in the server to do this. It would be trivial to write a plugin for it, but the people on the jabber mailing list seem to be vehemently opposed to it. I see where they are coming from, but if they want this to be adopted by the corporate world, it needs to be there. There is another jabber server called wxJabber (I think). It actually looked quite good, but I didn't try it out. Jabber also has AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo gateways.
