[Wocky] Trying to connect to Jabber from iChat

Thanks for the info.  I did not know about the instructions for  
configuring iChat.  I used the main jabber page:
http://web.mit.edu/ist/services/messaging/jabber.html
A link on that page to the FAQ (or whatever it is called), would be  
useful.  I was already using iChat so I felt that was better than  
downloading something like Adium X and keeping it up to date.
