Sorry,
I think I missed it... our Internet went down as the meeting was about
to start...
Regarding the client, I don't care, it is about the underlying protocol
which is used. Yahoo, AIM, MSN use a proprietary protocol. Jabber
follows a well known protocol which is a RFC Internet Standard. There
are many jabber clients, gaim is one of them, maybe not the best one,
but a versatile one...
Also txt is the only thing we can afford here... Audio sometime, video
forget it...
Cheers
