LOL. I guess you could say it was my poor networking skills, but every IM I tried (and I tried at least 20 -- seriously) would either not work well or would network fine and then, for whatever reason, just stop connecting. Some were peer to peer, others used the server.
IPMSG just works. I do think the older versions are better, although I haven't played around with the newer versions yet. The presets for letting people know what your status is are things like Edo (Tokyo -- previously) and priest (whatever it is in Japan).
