I have a Jabber server, with MSN Messenger transport, running at darlow.co.uk which I would be happy for LUG members to use. The server name is: darlow.co.uk and it accepts plaintext connects on port 5222 and SSL-encrypted connects on port 5223. There are a number of Jabber clients for Linux of which gabber seems to be the most popular but I have had some success using the gaim multi-protocol IM client also. You'll need either a Hotmail/MSN e-mail account or an ordinary e-mail account registered with Microsoft Passport to use the MSN Messenger Transport but for general Jabber IM or use of the chatrooms you only need to create an account on the server. Please feel free to pass this offer on to your LUG members. Regards, Neil Darlow M.Sc. -- Beds Lugmaster --__--__-- Message: 3 To: announce@lists.alug.org.uk From: MJ Ray <markj@cloaked.freeserve.co.uk> Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 17:03:48 +0100 Subject: [Alug Announce] Fwd: [peterboro] May PLUG meeting For more information, join the peterboro LUG list. Lifts available from/to King's Lynn. See some of you there, perhaps. Subject: [peterboro] May PLUG meeting From: Ben Hayes <Ben@benhayes.uklinux.net> Date: 15 May 2002 21:35:49 +0100 The PLUG meeting will be held on May 23rd at 7:30p.m. The address of the meeting is as follows: Misys Insurance Management Ltd, 7 North Street, Cavell Court, Peterborough For those whom have never been, we are located across the Westgate parking lot and about 3 doors down from Hobart's Pub (I think this is the name of it). We have secure parking for those attending so there isn't a need to pay for parking. [...] The topic is a continuation of last month PostgreSQL which was hosted by Steve Gallagher. Graham will be giving us an advanced insight into PostgreSQL (and maybe some DBA tips - hint). --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Announce mailing list Announce@lists.alug.org.uk http://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/announce End of Announce Digest
