No, it's an IM hosting site, and a careless link on my part.

Yes, it points to these: jabberd 1.x: jabberd 2.x: which are the upstream sites for linux/unix repositories. I was using the 1.x server at that time, and it was particularly easy to install using apt-get on Ubuntu or port install on Mac OS. The DBMS dependency is configurable; I typically used MySQL or PostgreSQL, but at least one site used Firebird. I don't recall finding a client that could _not_ connect, which made debugging ours _much_ easier. It's not Java, but it's solid. -- John B. Matthews trashgod at gmail dot com
