I have some questions about jabber.
Can a non-jabber client talk to a jabber server with xml-rpc? Or does one
commit to the jabber protocol completely? Why not use one of the
other standard messaging services? With jabber, why use xml-rpc at all?

Hi Horst,
this is a very good idea. Will you setup an online xmlrpc-via-jabber server
for all of us on this list?
I have used jabber before using 2-3 clients both on windows and linux, but I
guess we cannot use them for our health apps, can we? So we need some
libraries or drivers.
Are there libraries/drivers available around?
thanks in advance,
