+!SECTION	Zephyr Protocol
+
+Q:	What is Zephyr?
+
+A:	Zephyr is an IM protocol developed at MIT for use with Project Athena. Its 
+features include Kerberos IV authentication, multi-level chats (aka "subscriptions").
+You're probably using this because your college/employer/organization uses it as a 
+local IM/chat system. If not, you probably don't have a server to connect to.
+
+Q:	Other Zephyr clients (zwgc,owl,tzc) work, but gaim dies with "Couldn't initialize zephyr". 
+
+A:	Your site might require the use of Kerberos 4 for authentication, though
+few (if any) prepackaged gaim binaries compile it with Kerberos support. The solution 
+is to compile gaim with the --with-krb4 flag to point to the location of your 
+Kerberos 4 devel files, usually one of /usr, /usr/local, or /usr/athena , e.g. 
+
+./configure --with-krb4=/path/to/kerberosIV
+
+Q:	Gaim isn't working, but I never got any other zephyr client working on this machine.
+
+A1:	You need to have zhm (which comes with the standard zephyr distribution)
+installed, and running, and pointed at your zephyr servers. e.g.
+
+zhm z1.example.com z2.example.com z3.example.com
+
+A2:	There might be a firewall or a NAT between you and the zephyr servers
+Zephyr doesn't work in an environment where incoming connections cannot be made 
+to arbitrary UDP ports.
