Delivery of a SMS message is much more complicated then of an ordinary GSM packet - think only about the harddisk where it waits when the recipient has his mobile switched off. This could be some excuse for the mobile network provider.
My friends, hackers and programmers. There is an important point everybody has missed yet. Digitician is somebody likely to be invited by lonely woman to help them out of troubles.
Few months ago, I tried to run jabber in the company where I work, because we have offices in different parts of Europe and the communication is sometimes too slow. The interesting feature of jabber is that one can run his own server, so that the secret communication doesn't go anywhere outside a firm like with ICQ.
We have linux RH7.3 and (mostly) Win2000 desktops, so I installed gabber resp. exodus. But all the jabber software turned out to be quite unuseable. Exodus was very unstable. Gabber didn't want to dock on my gnome panel. To configure the jabberd was also quite a pain.
Actually, after my experience with IRC and ICQ I find a panel applet to be the most important part of the IM. If one finds a message always 2 hours after arriwal, it has no point to use IM:( ICQ is quite a good in this respect.
I got to the point that we exchanged two messages with a coleague in the same office. Then I decided that it is not worth of the effort. Neither the windows nor the linux client are mature enough to be convenient to use. Well, in my job, I can play half a day with something like that, but not much more;)
But maybe somebody has a different experience. Is there somebody who really uses jabber in real word for a real communication with real people? With at least basic functionality (= arrival of a message makes a change on panel) in both linux and windows?
It seems than it is an indication of an another planet. What else could kick out the commets from the Belt if there are so few of the candidates? I wander if this possibility is excluded from gravitational influences on Pluto's trajectory.

Regina, the free implementation of Rexx, works at linux well. And it has documentation superior to anything from IBM ;)
Think about it.
Really, I have responsibility for a couple of linux servers, so for me SSH is a killer app.
