Simple web "live chat" software (LAMP stack) that integrates with Jabber/Aim [closed]

Question

I've looked for this a few times in the past, to no avail. I would like a simple php/ajax web chat interface, that, and this is the critical part, will interface with my IM client (Pidgin) ... via Jabber or Aim. Plugoo is almost what I want, except it is hosted, and flash based. Flash-based would be OK if not ideal, but hosted isn't.

Note that I don't just need notifications, but I want a user of the website who clicks "live chat" to get a chat interface and my IM client allows me to interact with them.

This is super handy for those of us that want to provide live support to clients who do not use IM.

The JabberWerx AJAX libraries do exactly what you want. You include a reference to a Javascript library, add a div tag where you want the chat to go, and add a couple lines of configuration javascript to hook the two together. There's also a one-to-one mode. User accounts can be created on the fly if you like, as well.

Sorry for the ad, but I think it's exactly what you want.
