Wrong. Jabber is the best option because, they can talk to people on others network., by using a gateway on the server. they will not need to upgrade, because this will be done on the server side. I do not have a upgraded gaim, but i am still able to talk with friend on yahoo, with amessage.info server. So, i think that using jabber is a more than valid alternatives, for the moment. Take a look at the public server list on http://www.jabber.org/user/publicservers.php As you can see, there is more than 40 servers with these gateways, and it works great. The only problem i see is that gaim is unable to register on a gateway, i had to use kopete for this but kopete is too buggy for daily use ( at least on my computer ). but, they can also use gabber, or psi, i didn't tested them. -- Mickaël Scherer
