Just out of curiosity: why couldn't you use a Jabber client with |
| 25 |
Bonjour/Zeroconf support (all or most of them?) within the company (which is |
| 26 |
what this is for IIUC)? With Zeroconf, the Jabber clients "find each other", |
| 27 |
then you wouldn't need to bother with setting up a server. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Or is Zeroconf problematic? I know Pidgin can do Zeroconf on Windows, even if |
| 30 |
you need to manually install a separate package for it to work. |
