We would really love to have the server-to-server stuff running. I thought
that we were waiting for the abber.com commercial s2s software to be completed
before we could set it up. I know in the past there was some issues with
Our network setup, but I had thought those were resolved. I'll ask my boss
what is going on.

Team? Its really just me with some parttime design support and the
Occasional Help from network operations.

I really hope so too!
BTW, its been a while since I've done a release. I'm almost ready to make
a new release that will include support for message history SSL the new
text-conferencing, etc.
