RE: Jabber

I have done some work with Jabber, though it's been a few years and not in
the context you describe below. I think most end users who can install AIM
or similar clients could install a Jabber client without much fuss.

As noted by Jeff Fischbach, if you use the public Jabber servers, you're
still allowing outside communications similar to AOL/AIM/Yahoo/whatever.

I believe your question, though, is more focused on installing a private
Jabber server for your local environment. That would not allow contact with
outside persons, at least assuming that you've got a firewall in place
between your local net and the rest of the world.

According to this list -

http://www.jabber.org/software/servers.php

there are a number of server implementations available for Unix and Windows
systems. The only one that I've used is the "jabberd" package on FreeBSD and
Linux, which worked fine, but assumes that you've got someone available
who's comfortable working and administering a BSD or Linux system. If you
don't have a person like that already available to you, I would suggest that
you stick with a Windows-based server.
