[JDEV] EtherX - What's the protocol?

[Mark Zamoyta]

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, I'd like to masquerade my users and system as a Jabber system.  I
assume this would make my IM system accessable by any Jabber server without
Jabber admins having to configure a transport.

The easy answer is for my company to just run Jabber!  ... but our IM system
is architected for wireless devices (no TCP/IP connections) so Jabber isn't
really a solution at this stage.

If I wanted to communicate with Jabber users via my IM server, what would be
the best way to go?  I'm thinking of taking EtherX and integrating it into
my system.  Would this work, and how can I get some info on EtherX's
protocol?

Thanks,
Mark
