Jabber or something close

Tom,


(Hi everyone.  This is my first post to the list)

I set up a Jabber server internally for testing purposes and it worked great. 
The install process from what I remember was extremely straightforward.  You
download the services files, unpack them, and run the setup program which is
semi-graphical and darn simple to follow.  I used the Exodus client (for Windows)
which seemed to have the most features of all the ones listed on the Jabber
website.  The only thing I don't know about Jabber is how secure it is, but
assuming that people use it to run totally public servers, I'm sure it's got to
be pretty decent.

I belong to an online music trading group which is presently being hosted by msn.
Please dont beat me for the msn... Anyway we are sick and tired of how long it
takes to post a reply to email msgs within the group. One person will reply to an
email which will show up days later while other people post afterwards and it
goes through right away. We have created a new msg board using phpBB. Our only
issue at this point is that we do not have a chat room which I was under the
impression that jabber would do that. I only see how jabber is similiar to IM.
Does anyone have any experience in this or can point me in a direction that would
work? Mucho thanks in advance..
