Trillian is making a bold move here from being a single source client, to it's own type client for behind the firewall.

Cerulean Studios has added support for Apple's Rendezvous protocol to its popular Trillian instant messaging application.

With Rendezvous support, Trillian now will offer serverless IM capabilities for users on the same LAN.

While all this is only available in the Pro version, they added another feature or two to entice you.
In the new Trillian 3.0, the Rendezvous plug-in allows employees on the same LAN to automatically discover each other for messaging, file transfers and videoconferencing.

Paid users also get access to plug-ins for connection to Jabber and Novell GroupWise Messenger, and video-chat support with enhanced logging capabilities.

Trillian 3.0 also adds several bells and whistles, including an "Instant Lookup" tool that integrates with the Wikipedia online encyclopedia to offer real-time information based on text conversations

With the Sametime plug-in that IBM Alphaworks currently has out, let's just figure out the licensing issues.
