Hi list
Does anyone know of a program that can directly connect a Linux box to a windoze box so that we can chat?
Privacy is one thing, the other is with normal instant messengers, all clients are dependant on the server. If the server is overloaded or unavailable, it doesn't work.
By stateless I actually meant that it doesn't rely on a constant connection, like if for instance it uses the UDP protocol to send messages and the TCP to send acks or something?
Anyone know of such a beast?
With kind regards

Would gaim with OTR plug-in work for you? That addresses the whole security point of it, but stateless? Hrmm..could you just run an extremely restricted irc server? Of course that doesn't satisfy the whole security viewpoint.
I think Off the Record would work for you but can't help you with the whole stateless thing. Sorry!
