I appreciate your help, and I just got an e-mail from Patrick Quek who was 
struggling with the same connection problem. He, however, is now a happy 
puppy. He told me that all I should do is make sure that the server 
hostname is in its local /etc/hosts (it was, and the DNS is clean both main 
and reverse), and to make sure that WinJab connects to the FQDN. Been 
there, done that... still no luck, although since making this change 
(adding IP address in jserver.xml), jserver no longer cores dump when I 
connect from WinJab.

<jserver>
   <names>
     <default>radius.techno.ftci.net</default>
   </names>

   <listen>
     <jabber>5222</jabber>
     <ssl>5223</ssl>
     <irc>6667</irc>
     <http>5280</http>
     <telnet>5228</telnet>

      <!-- Following Patrick's advice, added IP address -->
     <jabber ip='10.0.0.10'>5222</jabber>
     <!-- FF <irc ip='12.34.56.79'>6667</irc> -->
   </listen>

[root at radius /etc]# ps aux | grep j

Frankly, Jabber's web page is impressive, but I'm beginning to wonder if 
Jabber is really ready for deployment..

Thx for your time
