How a client connect to chat server?

I have downloaded and installed Jive Messanger but it is the server only.

How to run client? Is it support client through explorer (web client) or a thick client. In either case please let me know how a client can connect to chat server.

Thanks!!

There are several clients available see jabber.org for a list. Fat clients, java applets or soon a flash client that i’'m programming see soon www.olat.org based on the xiff flash lib. You can also write your own clients based for example with the smach library from the same people als the server or for a list see www.jabberstudio.org. All you cient has to know is the xmpp protocol.
