[NBLUG/talk] File transfers using Gaim?

[Mark Street]

I run my own jabber IM server.  The company I work for utilizes my jabber 
server, we use gaim as the client both on Linux and on Windows boxen.  File 
transfer works fine using gaim.  Incompatible IM protocols be damned.... a 
client for this, a client for that.  Now AOL IM is integrated into M$ 
clients..... insidious
