We would really love to have the server-to-server stuff running.  I thought
that we were waiting for the abber.com commercial s2s  software to be
completed 
before we could set it up.  I know in the past there was some issues with
Our network setup, but I had thought those were resolved.  I'll ask my boss
what is going on.

Team?  Its really just me with some parttime design support and the 
Occasional  Help from network operations.

I really hope so too!

BTW, its been a while since I've done a release.  I'm almost ready to make
a new release that will include support for message history SSL the new
text-conferencing, etc.
