Check out the xmpp protocol. Supports both peere to peer and conference room chat. Foss clients for both windows and linux available.

At my work we are going to install a chat server for about a dozen people. Currently people are using a mix of Google Talk and MSN. My first inclination is to install an irc server. Should I install something else instead? We don't need a full on "collaboration server." Just easy chat. We need something that has both Linux and Windows clients. The server will only run on our intranet and doesn't need to connect to other servers or networks. Open source is preferred. If I do go with and irc server which one should I use? I would prefer to install one that is packaged for Debian/Lenny. From a quick search I see about 8 or so in the Debian repositories. -- sg -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
