 Alternatively, there might be a firewall or a NAT between you and the Zephyr servers.  Zephyr generally doesn't work in an environment where incoming connections cannot be made to arbitrary UDP ports.
 
+=== How do I avoid compiling Pidgin with Kerberos 4 support? ===
+See the next question; the same trick for firewall traversal applies to avoiding building with Kerberos support.
+
 === How do I use Zephyr from behind my firewall? ===
 You can use tzc ("Trivial Zephyr Client") and ssh to run Zephyr from a machine that is behind a firewall or NAT.  First, make sure that tzc is installed and working on the remote machine.  The best version of tzc to use can be found [http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/debian/dists/testing/contrib/source/tzc-cclub_001-3.tar.gz here].

+== SILC Protocol ==
+
+=== What is SILC? ===
+SILC is an open protocol designed from the ground up with security in mind.  It is, or should be, the protocol of choice for the paranoid.  See [http://www.silcnet.org http://www.silcnet.org] for more details.

+== Novell Groupwise Protocol ==
+
+=== Are there any public servers? ===
+Not really.  This protocol is designed to connect to a Novell GroupWise server running on a corporate LAN.  No one that we're aware of runs a public server.
+
+=== I can't seem to get it to work. ===
+Novell tells us that this protocol plugin will only work with either the GroupWise Messenger for Linux server or the GroupWise Messenger SP2 (or higher) server for NetWare and Windows.  In addition, the server must be secure (SSL enabled).  If you have any trouble, see the FAQ question about submitting bugs, and they will be forwarded to Novell, who have been kind enough to continue active maintenance to the protocol plugin code they provided us.
