I want to allow chat between a few developers on the same LAN, but in different offices. We started with talk, which in fact works fine - with one issue: getting attention when a message has arrived. So, I am exploring options. Anyone have a suggestion for a decent local chat system? By local, I mean that it cannot use external resources / servers. We need to run whatever is needed on our own systems (our workstations or an internal server). It would be great if it ran on openSUSE 11.2 and newer. I see smuxi, which is a client and server. Anyone use this?
We run an internal OpenFire (XMPP) server. Simple to setup and very
robust. Use whatever XMPP client you like.
