<p class=MsoNormal>I have a key user that wants to implement IM. However,
I don’t want to bring in a “free” service because of what I think is the
security risk. Am I justified in my security concern? I was
thinking the best way is to implement something internal to my LAN. What
do you all think?<o:p></o:p></p>
