All good advice, thanks. I like this IM product because it uses SSL, in medical we need encryption, so low end junk like AIM is out. We are looking at netlert.com - we have the product running on a Windows 2000 Appl Server (quite well), but that box is so firewalled that the communications does not get through; so I can reconfig the firewall, or put the IM server on my RAQ. I use it for a lot of other stuff, I think I will keep in running and just keep this on my MS box for now :)
Thanks again, you kept me straight, and running!!
