Re: [AG-TECH] Jabber server

["Kingdon Barrett" <kingdon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've run into that myself, not exactly a situation of being forced to use Windows, but where it is actually the best environment for a certain purpose.  In my experience, a VMWare instance with a handful of Linux and BSD virtual hosts can turn any decently large-memory Windows machine into a far more useful swiss army knife.  VMWare Server is free software (free as in beer).

Not sure of your specific requirements, but you should be able to save yourself the pain of compiling software written for unix in such unfamiliar territory.

We are trying to do the same thing, so you might want to stay in touch.
The ANL Jabber
server is based on jabberd14, I believe, running on a Linux platform.
The problem at
our facility is that we are forced (yes, forced) to use PCs, we can not
find a pre-built
binary for jabberd for Windows, and the build instructions for that
platform date from 2003
(we have not yet attempted a build).  We experimented with the new
Java-based openfire
Jabber server, which appears to be more advanced than jabberd, and which
is successfully
deployed to many platforms -- but sadly, the jabber client in the AG
toolkit does not appear
to inter-operate with openfire.  Let's stay in touch, perhaps we can
collaborate on a solution.
