Hello PJ, Obviously I've done research in this area for years ... and have learned a lot along the way ... > Tying IM services to eDirectory will help some - using encryption > to handle communications or VPNs is even better. But as long as the ties exist to the outside companies - like AOL and CMGI - all companies are at risk of being "mined" for information. This is a wide open door to spying ... > AOL's IM and ICQ are consumer-end products which have taken the > place of telephone party lines - some companies are looking to move > this same concept into the corporate space including Tribal > Software and a few others. Yep ... talk to many of these folks constantly ... but the centralized ties are there. Novell or Microsoft have the chance to create the completely distributed solution ... we'll see who does it first. Your analogy is complete dead-on ... this is just like e-mail. What administrator is going to allow a company to host their mail service without complex legal agreements on how any collected data can be used? Or more specifically, that no data can be collected and used ... There are currently no such limits ... Scott C. Lemon
