Except that the question as posed *was* unreasonable. The original question was seeking a yes or no answer, which is overly simplistic when anything relating to helth care or banking regulations is involved. A more reasonable question would have been "Is a default Pidgin configuration compliant with the regulations resulting from HIPAA? If not, what would we need to do to make it compliant?" (which, for the record, we still would not have been able to answer). Realistically, a question such as what was originally posed would be better to ask of an independent auditor specializing in HIPAA compliance testing and auditing. A followup with legal counsel would likely have been an excellent course of action as well. (Examiners *love* the CYA approach.) As an open source development team, we're not equipped to discuss regulatory compliance. John
