In an effort to try and keep the various ITS groups and student workers in contact with each other, Networks and Systems have created an iChat server using the jabber IM protocol. I have asked the members of my group to try to be connected to the server during the day.

Here is the information you need to connect to it:

- Open your iChat application

- Click on the "+" button in the bottom left corner
- Your Jabber ID is your username with "@fandm.edu" added to the end
- Use your F&M password for your password
