In short, no :) No one has really asked this before. Jabber (in general) never
allows one entity to discover the IP of a remote entity. If the other remote
user is going to be running your plugin, you could do a simple IQ exchange, and
ask for it. IExodusController DOES allow a plugin to get it's OWN ip.. so when
asked, your plugin could respond, and send the IP out in a result packet.

Adding a COM interface around the socket infrastructure we use sounds kind of
like re-inventing the wheel. Wouldn't it be easier to just use whatever
lang/framework is native to your plugin?
