| + | '''XMPP''' (also known as '''Jabber''') is an open instant-messaging protocol. Many alliances in EVE use Jabber as a means of keeping in contact with one another when not logged on to EVE or on voice comms. Note that Jabber is not a program, it is the protocol spoken by a number of different programs such as Pidgin, Trillian, etc. to provide instant messaging services. EVE University used to run a Jabber server, however it was shut down in favor of [[Archive:UniSlacks|Slack]]. |

| |
| − | * Any apostrophes (<code>'</code>) are replaced with grave accents - the <code>`</code> character, usually available on the ~ (tilde) key at the top left of most keyboards.
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | [http://bitlbee.org bitlbee] is an IRC->IM bridge, so in order to use it you need to already have an IRC client setup. Setting it up depends on your OS and it's most popular on linux, so refer to your favorite distro's guide.
| |
| − | | |
| − | All the following commands are to be done in bitlbee's control channel (usually "&bitlbee", but the user can change to something else).
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Getting logged in ===
| |
| − | Beware that bitlbee will use your irc nickname for all accounts you log in. On the uni's server, you should use your character's name (or the closest IRC-valid approximation you can get) as your handle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # account list (to see your account list)
| |
| − | # account n on (where 'n' is the number of the new account)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Getting into a chat room ===
| |
| − | Unfortunately, there is no way to list chat channels through bitlbee, but you can join one. For example, to join the general 'chat' channel:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # /join #chat
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can put anything valid instead of "#chat" as the bitlbee-side channel name.

| − | == Instantbird ==
| |
| − | This client doesn't work at all because it refuses the server's SSL certificate and there is no mechanism to tell it to trust the certificate.
