List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Igor, Actually, I was thinking about that. I'm not sure of what the current status of console-based Jabber apps are, but I'm pretty sure that the gateway only supports rudimentary text-only chat of course. i.e. No fansy fonts because this would obviously involve some flags being client specific. Wonder what they do in the case if their launched within an Xterm session? Perhaps their as smart as Emacs and will communicate with the X server to windowize the application and do all of the nice UI tricks that we expect in GUI-enabled applications. While I'm on the subject of jabber and unified IM gateways, I really don't see any hope for interoperable file transfers unless perhaps some form of DCC would be implemented. After all, its taken Microshaft and AOL so long to discuss the unified standard, and so far nothing's been done.

Ever think of a subset of the dcc functionality built into irc to use as a file transfer protocol? That's what's its meant for anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Heil To: Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 7:06 PM Subject: Re: Jabber console based clients > Hi, > The only problem now is that some of the agents seem to be broken due to the > constant changes of protocols used by various IM applications.
