Well, in my dictionary, an agent is a component that connects to the server, and then exposes other agents "below" itself in the tree. So: . jabber.org `-- agent1 |-- agent1-1 `-- agent1-2 agent1-1 and 1-2 are then sub-agents of agent1. In my pooled user idea I was talking about earlier in the week, there'd be a pool agent/component that exposes sub-agents that are the pooled aliases. For example: . jabber.org `-- PooledAliases |-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] `-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know I've seen something like multi-level agents on jabber.org before; maybe the irc component? It probably has something to do with jabber:iq:agents that gets answered by the component and not the server. _____________________________________________________________________________ B r i a n L a l o r [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu/~blalor Spam me not.
