That's good to hear re-confirmed, but I've not seen any buddies/ 
activities shared on olpc.collabora.co.uk for weeks/months. I'd just  
assumed your server was always borked by lots of connections, or in  
some unstable dev status, so I had switched over to xochat.org which  
always seems to respond and have buddies showing.

Using your recent "nc olpc.collabora.co.uk 5222" trick I can now see  
olpc.collabora.co.uk is responding with some xml just fine. So, is no  
one else using it, or should I do some debugging? Are you running a  
dev version of a jabber server that's doing something different?
