Can anyone recommend a good, stable Jabber server that I could run at home, which supports MSN and Yahoo, so that I can use the in-built client. Preferably one which won't take much more effort than installing pidgin would, because I'm lazy
Also, does/can Jabber work over port 80, so that I can use it from locked-down networks?
Thanks

You need to have an FQDN on your home computer if you want it to be available outside of your own internal network.

Zero, got that. I have a static IP on my DSL at home. As I understand it (with my limited research) I can run a jabber server which effectively proxies to MSN etc... Is this correct?
I already run web, mail and asterisk servers, so adding a jabber server won't be an issue. I just don't want to spend ages trying to get something working that doesn't offer me any real advantage over pidgin, hence the desire for something straightforward. Even better would be if I can "yum install" it
Check out Openfire:|

Just had a quick look at openfire, and it looks like it'll do what I want. Even better, it's Java based (I'm a Java developer) so I can hack at it easily

I'm kind of interested in offering Jabber services specifically to tablet users as part of a larger tablet offering. As to when that might get off the ground... I haven't a clue. Money's tight at the moment... we'll see.
