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.
Okay, true I guess. I have never tried it. I don't use IM anyway.
BUT, obviously we need to make the distinctions between the jabber client and the jabber protocol/network. I meant the protocol, not the client. Stupid old English again... just like the beer/freedom problem...
