Believe it or not most people know a person who owns a windows
machine or have access to a Windows machine. It makes no difference
what people do, but it would be so simple to do what I did and take
most people less than 5 minutes to set this up. Along with the
security problems you have when setting up your machine as a server
which no one has talked about I think I might give setting up a server
a little more thought.

Tim,
The whole problem is that, as yet, no one has been able to find an
accessible Jabberclient on the Mac. Hence this work around.

No, there really isn't any need to installl your own jabber
server. All you need do is install an accessible jabber client
for a few minutes that can perform service discovery. You would
then find a server at www.jabber.org and then create an account
using the client. Most of these clients will create an account
for you, all you have to do is pick a server. After you're done
registering your jabber account, use the clients service discovery
feature to register on the gateway of your choice. Then uninstall
the client, log in to your newly created account with Ichat and
your done. I used Pandion to do this, and if you do it for
service discovery in this software they call it choosing a
transport. It isn't hard to do and the only reason you have to do
it this way is currently Ichat doesn't have an option to create a
Jabber account or pick a transport.
