[AG-TECH] AG 2.4 and 3.0 servers

[Andrew Rowley]

Hi,

If you copied your old server config, you will need to change the textPort to
5223 (it is probably 8002 or something like that just now).  You can run your
own Jabber server, but anl host one that seems stable (plus there are 
loads out
there) at jabber.mcs.anl.gov.  This should be set by default as your textHost
in your VenueServer.cfg file.
