[Wocky] Adium and Zephyr

[Chris Murphy]

I just wanted to mention that this configuration is the same as is  
needed for using jabber.mit.edu with iChat (not a supported client but  
there is a stock answer at http://itinfo.mit.edu/answer.php?id=8061).   
Most Mac users I know, myself included, are using iChat so there is  
probably a sizable community out there.
