So this isn't an open chat server like jabber.org? I guess this might
not be a PC thing as much as a support thing. I'll take this offline...

Well, the chat server itself is open ... if you already have a jabber id
on another server, you can join the chat straight away. Just join chat
room 'midrangedotcom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.

If you don't have a jabber id, you need to contact me to request one.

If you have a gmail account, you already have a jabber id ... although
the Google talk client doesn't support chat rooms. For that you would
need another chat client. I personally recommend Pidgin (formerly Gaim)
which can be found at http://www.pidgin.im
