Just saw this on #jabber on freenode.net (yes, that's IRC :P)

[22:28] 	*	samueltc (n=samuel at levinux.UQAR.UQUEBEC.CA) has joined #jabber
[22:28] 	<samueltc>	hi
[22:29] 	<samueltc>	did your mail server ok?
[22:29] 	<samueltc>	some people trying to register on jabphone.com and 
when we send the mail-with-the-password we got user unknown
[22:30] 	<samueltc>	(people with @jabber.org email...)


I'm seeing some problems with jabphone. First they don't understand that 
a JID != Email. This, BTW, is a problem a LOT more people are going to 
run into.

Besides that this service won't scale because Gtalk has a limit on the 
number of people that you can have on your roster. So the roster of 
mr.jabphone at gmail.com is bound to overflow (ofcourse they could show a 
new name then or switch to a private Jabber server). The Wumpus game 
(easter-egg in Gtalk) ran into the same problem. Too many people tried 
to play it -> full roster -> game over.

Yup, it's a SIP<->AIX bridge made by 'Denis' from poly9.com
Cool :) Would be nice if they would make that available :D
