Hmmm.. I remember using the Go Messenger to connect to any server (including 
jabber.org, my own server among others). The version I used was 1.0.0.25, 
but eventually had to give it up, since it didn't support SSL. So, AFAIK, 
no, there is no hardcoding.

My above statement kinda makes this moot, cos if you can connect to 
jabber.org, then you can talk to any server that talk to jabber.org, or 
something like that :-)

Hold on... ok. I just connected to jabber.org using the Go messenger.

HTH,
