I remember working with you a while ago. You were sent in as a technical consultant.

Gopal is very knowledgeable and a great guy to work with. If I were the "judge a book by its cover" kinda guy, I might not have had the pleasure of working with him.

Gimme a shout next time you are passing by... and don't forget the weed (haha, j/k)

Another vote for OpenFire. I am the IT manager at a healthcare facility and I have implemented this successfully. The latest version was very easy to setup and integrate with Active Directory. It has been working like a champ for almost 8 months now. I also enabled the web client and Red5 video plugin for video chat. This saved us quite a bit of cash in travel fees since we have numerous clinics spread out over the area. We did not eliminate traveling (nothing beats face-to-face time). Instead we do weekly video meetings and monthly travel.
