www.xchat.org/
Open the program and fill out your details into the fields on the popup. Select SlashNET from the list of servers.
Click Connect.
A popup should then appear, labelled "Connections to SlashNET Complete".
Select the Join a Channel option and type #rockettheme
Once you have installed Trillian, open the program and a little "console window" should appear. Select Trillian > Trillian Preferences > [flash=200,200]http://Plugins[/flash]. Activate the IRC plugin with the tick box next to it
