XMPP is pretty much the defacto standard of IM today. Unquestionably there is a significant population that hve not upgraded to more recent or modern clients. We use a CommuniGate Pro server which supports XMPP and XMISS. Google and pretty much every major IM service is now supporting XMPP.
I believe Novell and many other large development organizations still have internal IRC servers. We dropped ours over a decade ago. Very few ISPs even run IRC servers any more. Frankly they are more used by the inner circle of hackers (meant is a positive way), bad people playing with botnets, and a hand full of criminal elements. it has been so long since i used them I can't even remeber my IRC credentials and servers I used to frequent. A few years ago when we were working directly with Novell consulting and sat behind the Walthhem firewall we used the Novell IRC servers quite regularly. > _______________________________________________ > lpi-examdev mailing list > lpi-examdev@lpi.org > http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev -- 73 and 75 Gregg AB9MZ Gregory D.
