[TriLUG] Jabber server outage

[Joel Ebel]

The trilug jabber server is now back up and running.  It's on a new IP, 
so you'll either have to wait for DNS to propagate, or specify 
talon.trilug.org in the meantime.  Unfortunately, all the spool data was 
lost, so you'll have to re-create your account and re-populate your 
roster.  Currently the transports are not set up.  You can browse them, 
but they aren't actually running yet.  Hopefully that will be back up 
soon.  You are welcome to use transports on another jabber server until 
then of course.

The jabber server is now running version 1.4.4 which has a number of 
improvements.  Most notably it supports TLS on port 5222 now.  If your 
client supports this, I highly recommend you use it.
