The only thing I can think of is if Psi is failing to use TLS, or cannot speak the available sasl mechanisms. Possible, since XMPP had to move off digest md5 when that became historic, and switched to scram, but maybe psi has been left behind there. Possible that your corporate server has the same problems in reverse, in which case it's probably also got major security holes running throughout. This probably does count as an interop issue in a sense, but I think is a necessary one. > But the real test is whether or not you can join one of the IETF group chats. I > tried, and it worked.

Google doesn't help here, since their server is at best crippled, and at worst breaks things entirely. But XMPP does work for millions of people who use it, federated, on a routine basis. > Ned
