Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you about this.

My testing indicates:

  * s2s works between mit.edu and jis.mit.edu
  * s2s works between mit.edu and 12jabber.com
  * s2s does *not* work between mit.edu and jabber.org
  * s2s does *not* work between mit.edu and gmail.com

It is well-known that gmail.com does not allow server-to-server Jabber
at the current time; see:

  http://www.google.com/talk/developer.html#service_4

It's disappointing, but we don't have any control over that decision.

When I initially tested against jabber.org and found that it didn't
work, I assumed the problem must be on our end.  I'm rather surprised
to find out that the problem seems to be on their end, since we are
able to communicate with two other open-registration servers.
