The WebChat client comes in two forms - a Java version which is supplied with the server, and a native Windows one which is available separately. The Java client is for use on web servers, whereas the Windows client is designed to be run on its own.

If you are a server administrator you will need the Java client, available from the server page. Most of you will want the Windows client.
