You can use iChat for Mac OS X to connect to Evergreen's Jabber chat server. One advantage to using iChat is that if you are using a mac, it is probably already installed.
Alert: iChat does not support password protected chatrooms. If your chatroom requires a password you will need to use Adium Chat Client for Mac OSX instead.
