Getting Started with iChat

Here’s how to set up iChat for the first time. We’ll create a Jabber Account — Jabber is one of many protocols for Instant Messaging (IM). This assumes that you’ve already set up an account with a Jabber Server, that will include an address, ie, myname@jabber.com, and a password. Though based on Jabber, this set up will probably work for other types of IM accounts.
