Those are the answers I was looking for and apparently Communicator does not have to be integrated manually because it automatically integrates with all of Office.

We want to integrate chat with our MOSS 2007 site and I heard that Office Communicator 2007 does this.<br />
<br />
1) How? Any good, comprehensive articles that you know of?<br />
<br />
2) How does it work? Does it give you a webpart to add into SharePoint or do all users have to have the communicator (or MSN or other Microsoft chat app) client installed and running on their machine? <br />
<br />
3) All of the users of our SharePoint site will be external users logging on to the domain via SharePoint over an internet https connection. Will the fact that they are not using their desktop login but rather their SharePoint login effect anything?<br />
<br />
Windows Server 2008, Exchange 2007, MOSS 2007, Office Communicator Server 2007<br />
<br />
Thanks
