Bart and all,

Thanks for the input! Our first design was gtalk-centric, so it was easy and
logic to send an email at domain.tld with the password. When google joined the
Federation, we started dancing all around the room and without much analysis, we
removed all @gmail.com reference in our code. Sorry about that.

Actually, we have Mr. Jabphone back at mr at jabphone.com. Guess what, that bright
guy is now xmpping you the password. Still beta.

We are planing to add sip-out (free as beer indeed) and the famous
number at jabphone.com is in the stack.

Best regards,
