Hi Chris,

I think you got a 503 error as Facebook Chat does not yet support the  
Non-SASL authentication with the "jabber:iq:auth" in XEP-0078. I have  
tried with Psi v0.14 and it works fine.

I hope Facebook Chat will support XEP-0078 soon, as my Chatopus client  
requires it, too.

Thanks!

Tony
