Re: Jabber

I'm not sure that Jabber would satisfy the "spirit" of your employer's
objections, because, even though it is not one of the major hot spots
for gab, it is still open to outside communications. My guess is
that--if you don't want to buck the system--you'd be more likely to
get away with using Windows built-in, but hated, Messenger Service (XP
& 200). At least this way, you're not installing any software to the
workstations or network, and you're not violating the "spirit" of the
admonition by using a web-based Java IM, as is available from AOL or
Odigo (a very nice web application, but I'm sure it would be
off-limits, based on what you've said).

You can access Windows Messenger Service as follows:

1) Right-click on "My Computer"/"Manage".

2) Under "System Tools" right-click on "Shared Folders".

3) Choose "All Tasks"

4) Finally, "Send Console Message..."

You'll need the network/login name of each other's workstations, but
this should put you back in contact.

Let me know if it works out, or if you have any additional questions.
