A IRC chat server:
cogs-chat.games.bigpond.com/4445

When you connect with their program which is basically some kind of automated IRC client, it will prompt for a username and password, then you can connect to it using the information you have registered on their site.

the site is: http://www.gamearena.com.au/
their "IRC" client is: http://www.gamearena.com.au/files/details/html/the-arena-v138

However in Mirc using the above chat server almost connects before it says "bad password" and disconnects. I've seen people using mirc with it but not sure how.

any help would be appreciated
cheers
