Thanks for your answer.  I wasn't aware that there were multiple
methods.  What determines the method used?  I don't see that in
the options.  Is this dependant on other things such as what
jabber server I am using or perhaps what client the other person
is using?  This is a small setup with jabberd 1.4.3 and all
clients are Exodus.  I suppose I could just enable both ports
that you mentioned but now I am curious

Sounds interesting.  Would this mean that I would have to use
only that one from the two you mentioned?  I am guessing that
the answer to that is yes but as I mentioned above, I don't know
how the transfer method is selected.
