If you want a chat room, then maybe you need an IRC client like
http://www.pjirc.com/

I set up a company with Corporate ICQ once, it was free, but the
server runs on NT, and I never tried to connect a Linux ICQ client to
it.  It's kinda discusting, but they use it a lot, even over a WAN.

Best to search freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net and try a couple out
for yourself.

Good Luck.

Scott.
