Thanks for getting back to me.
First time working with Openfire as I have inherited the server from someone else. My thought as well that they should be compatible since they all use the Jabber protocal, just some features may not work. I'm amazed at how easy the upgrade process is for it. Couldn't believe at the first that the tiny upgrde installation guide was all there was too it. Guess I'm conditioned to always expect to have 100 page pdf's of instructions haha.
