Good Open Source, Multi-Platform, Secure IM Client?

Posted by Soulskill on from the real-time-tps-report-updates dept.

Phil O. writes "I work for a company with 30+ locations across North America. Some offices have hundreds of employees; some only a dozen. We're looking for a secure, multi-platform IM client we could implement across the organization. One group is pushing for Microsoft's solution, but it has a number of drawbacks (including cost). What other options are out there, and what has worked well in similar situations? Security is a big concern for the company."

    Can any of the IM save the ENTIRE voice-chat session?

    I need both incoming and outgoing voice saved. (A plain old wav file is fine.)

    Thx
