    Although I couldn't find the older SMS transport, there seems to be another one being made here at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabbersms

    Jabber gateways(transports) work very well. And if it doesn't exist you can write your own in Perl, Python, C , Java and many others using existing libraries to handle network and xml functions. $20 million buys you a hell of a lot of Jabbering!

    I'm half suprised MS didn't push for an MSN contract to help push their .NET intiative.

    They would have difficulty with that. MSN was designed to be a large scale consumer service and nothing else. Check out its architecture if you don't believe me. It's not at all extendable, and the whole thing relies on central servers - you couldn't even just sell a server-in-a-box.

    I'm also glad IBM is smart enough to roll out their own servers rather than use that godawful jabberd that jabber.org provides. I hope they release their jabber server as free software, as the lack of a fs/os production quality jabber server has hurt deployment.

    I don't really know what you're referring to here. I admin a popular jabber server, and it works great. If you need corporate level scalability, the Jabber Commercial Server is especially designed for you.
