Here is some information on how get jabber up on your windows box!
For UNIX users, get Gabber (A Gnome based jabber client) OR check out Jabber Client Downloads for more clients.

1. Download winjab, and the SSL patch for it
2. Install winjab (execute the winjab_1.1.exe)
3. Open the jabbercomSSL zipfile, and copy the contents of the zipfile
   to C:\Program Files\WinJab
4. Execute WinJab
   • Make the server illx.org
   • Enter a username, and a password
   • Click the 'Use SSL Connection' radio box
   • Then, Click OK
     WinJab will say, "You are not authorized on this Server. Create a new account?"
   • Click "Yes"
     WinJab will say, "Disconnected from Server!"
   • Now, Go to WinJab->Connect
     You will see a bunch of text. That is normal,
   • Then, go to WinJab->Disconnect, and then connect again WinJab->Connect
     NOTE: You have to disconnect, then connect again.. it is just WinJab I guess.
   
   That should be it!
   Now you can chat with everyone at illx.org and on all other jabber servers
