Try jabber. jabberd is probably simpler to set up than ejabberd. Gaim is probably a reasonable client that can also handle other protocols the user may want to use. Though a dedicated client such as psi is probably better. It is probably very simple to decide if and what part of the messages can go to the outside world. client<->server and server<->server messages use different ports. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
