#3 intranet access

[Anonymous]

G"day,

I am looking for an instant messenger which is platform
independent, clients being downloadable and installable
on any windows or linux platfor. Client being able to
connect to ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo, you get the drift. But
I would like the client to have the access to connect
to a server which is within an intranet, preferably
linux based.

This is for use at a university and would mean students
can use internal non-quota'd bandwidth to add buddy's
and communicate across the lan, but have the option to
use their external monitored and financially liable
quota to connect to the external services. I was
wondering if your product could support this, or if you
could point me in the direction of where I should look.
The server for the internal intranet would need to be
opensource and compilable on a linux based server.

Please e-mail any information to s339492@student.uq.edu.au

Regards

Chris

Yes, my client could do this.

You can set your own jabber server up (jabberd) look for it
from http://jabber.org.

My client doesn't currently support SSL (but it will soon)
or proxying. Also, it works on Windows but there is no
download for it just yet.

You can heal it by editing /etc/hosts. Stupid, but works.
