Searching didn't help me, anyone know this?

Just wondering if Yahoo (and others if you have that information) do their instant messenger chat through P2P connections or go through a server.

I have always assumed P2P.

Thru a server, albeit some file transfers may be peer to peer. This doesnt belong in OT, so I moved it to Networking.
