[JDEV] iChat AV

[Timothy Carpenter]

I have installed iChat AV on my machine. It appears to only allow connection
to AIM or .mac, but permits the entering of a host address and port
number...

Some might say this could open the possibility to connect an iChat AV to a
Jabberd "iChat2s"  of your choice, but of course I could not possibly
comment...

I am interested to get this working over Jabber and other networks as for
once a Mac client has VOICE! Even Yahboo videochat has no sound on Mac!!!
