Just out of curiosity: why couldn't you use a Jabber client with Bonjour/Zeroconf support (all or most of them?) within the company (which is what this is for IIUC)? With Zeroconf, the Jabber clients "find each other", then you wouldn't need to bother with setting up a server. Or is Zeroconf problematic? I know Pidgin can do Zeroconf on Windows, even if you need to manually install a separate package for it to work. -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
