That depends on the network and IM policies at your organization. JBuddy Message Server uses the JBuddy Messenger IM client which supports AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger via client-side support but this support requires open ports for these services or a SOCKS proxy that supports access to these services. Many organizations choose to restrict or disallow access to the public IM services.
