Appreciate the commented code. Now if I could actually get it to work 
with 1.2 I would appreciate it even more. I downloaded the example 
code, compiled it and made the indicated extensions to the jabber.xml 
file.

<service id="example.naoh.gte.com">
<load><example_transport>../example-transport/src/example.so</example_ 
transport></load>
</service>

I added example.noah.gte.com to my name server and reinited it. I 
halted and restarted my jabber server. If I try to register the 
transport (using WinJab), I receive two error messages, one 
indicating "Remote Server Error" and the other a server error saying 
that it "Could not contact this agent. It is possible that the agent 
is not operating".  I am not sure what could be wrong.  I am assuming 
that the <load> tag specifies the location of the shared object file 
relative to the location of the jabber executable. Any other tag or 
attribute mods required?

Since my limited exposure to transports is limited to getting aim to 
run I am not sure where to turn with this .so based example 
transport. I want to get this to work so that I can use this as a 
stepping off point for some of my own work.
Thanks for any help.
