Surely you meant server there, not client? XMPP clients are a dime a dozen, take you pick: pidgin, kopete, telepathy and a hots of others. Servers are another story. All of them that you can lay your hands on seem to suck big eggs big time. ejabberd is the only one I found stable enough to actually stay up for sane amounts of time, and not DEPEND on java. But that info might be well out of date, I haven't looked at our jabber server for ages. There's no need to - the techies all gravitated by themselves over to GTalk and Skype, claiming that the cloud services did everything they needed and more, and it was there, and it worked. Our in-house jabber server - not so much. Can't say I blame them. It's true. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
