[mmox] Jabber clients for mmox (Re: meeting minutes from today's ietf mmox simulcastingmeeting

On Mac, I've been able to get Adium to work (using my Google Talk
account).  Colloquy was a bust (failed, and eventually crashed)

Adium instructions:
1.  Get a Jabber account on a publicly-connected server somewhere (e.g.
Google)
2.  Log into the account
3.  Choose "Join Chat", select your Jabber account, then fill in these
fields:
a.  Chat room name: mmox
b.  Server: jabber.ietf.org
4.  Join

Since I already had a private IM exchange going, it added the chat room
as a tab on the existing dialog box, not giving it focus.  That made me
think it wasn't working when it fact, people were saying "Hi Rob" to me
without my knowing it.

Since Adium uses libpurple (nee libgaim), I imagine that Pidgin (nee
Gaim) should work just fine for Win32 and Linux.
