Most servers run these. Most of the "good" clients also support gpg encryption, though you need a im protocol with enforced and standardized encryption silc may be better. The great thing about xmpp is the server/network interoperability, being open and all that is just a great way of achieving that. File transfers are not an issue, most of the clients can transfer files. And if file transfers is a big thing for you a (s)ftp server may work better. :P</p> Matt – most of the major clients (I tested about 10 for various platforms :P) support Multi User Conferences – by server services.
