Rather than "unplugging" from IM, if you *need* internal IM tools, why
not use Jabber? It's Open Source and there are Windows based
implementations (http://www.jivesoftware.org/messenger/) that are free
plus... the clients are free and adware unencumbered, plus (as I
understand) it's more difficult to get viruses through it.

Google is now offering IM /VOIP chat in beta:
http://www.google.com/talk/

You'll need a google gmail account. (let me know at netman@xxxxxxxxx if you
need one and I'll send you an invite.

It uses port 5222 server talk.google.com for you people who want to block
chat servers in your DNS.

Pretty neat stuff...I have been playing with it all morning. Haven't tested
it on TS/Citrix yet but seen no reason why it wouldn't work.
