Microsoft OCS requires a minimum of 2 servers, one for internal core services, the other for edge services that is deployed in your perimeter network.

You can federate with MSN and AOL at no monthly charge (if you are EA licensed with Microsoft), Yahoo for a monthly charge.  They also have an XMPP gateway to connect to Jabber, Googletalk and other XMPP based systems.  This requires an additional server in the perimeter network (in addition to the edge server).

CUPS requires a physical server, no co-location yet.  CUPS provides XMPP connectivity, but requires ports open all the way through your perimeter network.

Subject: [cisco-voip] two questions about Cisco/Microsoft "communications clients"

Just trying to get my head around two questions, with Cisco or Microsoft's PC based clients:

 1.  do you need a separate server?
 2.  can you communicate with individuals outside of your organization, say other MSN clients?
