<h2> <a name="Overview">Overview</a> </h2>
<p>
NPS runs an XMPP chat server
<code>conference.savage.nps.edu</code>.
The chat server is hosted on system <code>savage.nps.edu</code> using port 5222 with TLS security settings.
</p>
<p>
There is open registration for the server.
If you have an XMPP chat client installed, you can connect to the server and create your own account.
</p>
<p>
We have a group conference set up with multiple rooms available.
New participants need to provide a password when first connecting.
