http://hamachi.cc has a an application with a private chat. That is a
side feature in their product. The main app is a P2P VPN application
that works actually very well. Everyone in your Hamachi group (up to 16
nodes in free version, 254 in the $40/yr version) can share
files/printers and chat as if they were in the same physical LAN. A nice
configuration-less VPN.
The Nat/Nat Transversal trick: The Hamachi company (now owned by
logmein.com) has the 5.0.0.0/8 subnet and every Hamachi user tunnels in
and gets a 5.x.x.x IP address. The Hamachi software handles the
encryption and authentication, and only uses the 5.x.x.x subnet for
VPN'ing.

Hi All,
A few years back, there was a program called Blab-it. It was a private
chat system. I have a couple of corporate customers that are interested
in a Yahoo or MSN Messenger type application but they want it isolated
to their own network (including remote offices) and they want better
security.
Anyone know of such a beast? I could probably handle something that
rides on my server, but a system that would ride on the customer's
server is what they are mostly after.
thanks!
