asterisk users - Jan 2006 - JiveMessenger HOWTO

Any one out there done the JiveMesenger jabber server? 

www.jivesoftware.com/messenger/

I want to get this running to then do the next step of tie-ing it in
to the * server for presence & callerID screen pops.

Pursued their site a bit but never found a HOWTO or anything that
looked relevant.

Appreciated.

Peace. Love. Linux.

I have it working both here and at a client's place. I'm using Trillian
Pro
as the IM client here, and Spark on the client's computers.

Seems to work pretty well. I seem to remember the steps I followed were:

1) Set up a manager account in asterisk (manager.conf)
2) Install Jive Messenger Server (it's called Wildfire now, I think)
3) Install Asterisk-IM plugin and configure with the manager account you
created in (1)
4) Restart the IM Server
5) Configure Asterisk-IM plugin with your users/extensions
6) Install + configure jabber client.

Has anyone had experience using Asterisk-IM/Jive Messenger with any IM
clients apart from Trillian and Spark? (Trillian costs money and I'm not
that keen on Spark's lack of configurability)

Regards,

Chris
