I am currently using IMCom and have registered with a Jabber gateway at msn.jabber.ru.  You can get your jabber account 
either at jabber.ru or at the server of your choice.  It doesn't matter.  The only thing that matters is that you have a 
Jabber accout and at the IMCom prompt you type

/agenthelp msn.jabber.ru

That will start the registration process with the gateway.  www.jabber.org has other servers listed that have msn 
gateways, but msn.jabber.ru is the best one I've found so far.
