is the chatroom borked?
JavaJones:
Or the web chat room could be, you know, fixed... :D
I use HydraIRC when I can't use the web client, but it has an awkward preferences dialog and I don't think it has proxy support. Still it's entirely free, unlike nagware mIRC...

thanks for that, seems it mostly talks about mIRC and Miranda
another wrinkle, the client MUST be able to deal with a proxy (seems quite a number don't cater for this...)-Target (January 15, 2010, 12:34 AM)

most of the modern IRC clients should be able to deal with proxies easily. here is a link to mIRC's proxy guide. fwiw, i mainly use mIRC on my desktop PC and Miranda IM on my netbook.

Thanks for the recommendation, and you're correct, no proxy support...

I'll have a further look at this, but I guess I was looking for a freeware app since I'm unlikely to use it much...

the XChat program mentioned by Ehtyar above, does proxy setup and it's freeware. i've never tried it before but seems to be quite popular.
