> Marshall- > > Is there a way to browse available IETF jabber conferences? yes, but the client you're using may not implement it. in general, what you're looking for is a button/menu-item that says "browse". when you select this, on my client, i get a window asking for a server name. if i enter "conference.ietf.jabber.com", then i get a list of the conference rooms there. i can then double-click on a room to join, etc... if your client doesn't implement browsing, you can just do a join by clicking on "join group chat..." and entering: server: conference.ietf.jabber.com room: <<use the secretariat acronym, e.g., "dccp">> nickname: and away you go. /mtr
