An option besides those old tags is PresenceWorks ( http://www.presenceworks.com ). I've worked enough with it enough to get something basic working in CF 5, then another project came along and I haven't gotten back to it yet. Perhaps I'll be able to write it as a CFC by the time it's a priority again and open source it at CFLib or something along those lines. I don't remember what the service cost of PresenceWorks is offhand, but its very reasonable. The support is very good as well-- when I had some questions I ended-up talking to the person who wrote their Java API.
I think combining PresenceWorks with the open source work which has already been done to figure out the AIM/ICQ (they both use the same login servers now.. rumor is they are working to merge protocols, finally!), MSN, and Yahoo protocols, I suppose you could eventually roll something together. However it seems like a pretty big PITA and potentially maintenance heavy item if its not core to you or your clients business. - Brandon -------------------------------------- http://booms.net http://spooled.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
