clients
IRC is the grand-daddy of all instant messaging, and so there is
a vast
range of clients for all platforms.
If you google IRC client,
your will see some of the choices. See
(http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/)
for a list of the better known
clients.
Personally, since I don't use
Windows, I have no opinion on Windows
clients.
For unix and for Mac
OSX a good (if somewhat complicated to use) client
is xchat and xchat-aqua
respectively. xirc is also a good client for
macs.
Although there are
many IRC clients, most fall down at the first
corporate firewall. However,
xchat knows about proxies and firewalls
and can route round them -- using
normal HTTP proxy settings.
