Yes, jabber appears to be the system I read about.
I am now looking at it for some nonprofits, who want their
own server, and also to suggest to some commercial companies
for customer support. This looks like something that Mission
Critical Linux, Linuxcare, or VA Linux could use also.
Users register into the system. Each company has their own
support messaging server, which they control, and can have
high speed connections to, on their own network.
In the rescheduled firewall meeting in August, this is one of the
questions we will ask. How well does a firewall pass things
like ICQ, AIM, IRC, jabber, etc.
