We used to use one of the major brand IM clients here
where I work, but ever since the bankruptcy, the bean
counters have been concerned with internal
communications leaving the confines of out network.
So, the network guys blocked AIM by restricting the
port...That didn't work, we just picked another one.
This happened several times before the network guys
found that this was a loosing battle. So, they made a
policy about it. Now we are required to us a Lotus
client called SameTime that connects to an internal
server that filters our IM conversations if it feels
that the conversation is on the "touchy" side. If you
don't use the internal IM system, your manager gets a
nasty-gram and you get threatened to have your email
turned off (no great big loss to me!)
On the plus side though...it does proxy to AIM!
