For what it's worth, Mart and I tested the Jabber→GMail chat and it worked fine. But I think I may have had to add him to my buddy list using a "normal" Jabber client (Gaim).

I should point out that I'm using jabberd 1.4, not DJabberd. I'm waiting for DJabberd to mature a little before I use it as my “real” Jabber server.

After some success interacting with you, Evan, I persuaded one of my collegues who uses GMail to get Talk and be a guinea pig I could watch. It seems that he was able to respond to my subscribe request using the real Talk client but not on the interface integrated into the GMail site. Once I was added, he was then able to start a conversation with me in the web client.

I wonder how the gmail stuff handles authorization requests... hm.

DJabberd isn't functional enough yet to use as one's actual jabber server. I'll make a post when it's ready, and probably a website.

How did you get access to the SMS network? Do you actually have a seat or are you buying access from a 3rd party company?

w00t SMS features!

The only work you're going to be doing over the next couple of days is the work it'll take for your liver to process drinks!

i can't wait to see my anonymous lover tonight!

Hey, you asked to be sent faxes! :)
