You can also connect through a java applet. Unfiction and ARGNet each have
one that will take you right to irc.chat-solutions.org:
http://www.argn.com/chat.php
http://unfiction.com/chat/

Fill out the fields as follows:
Nickname: YourNick
Channel: #arg_sig

Leave everything else as is.

If you have any other questions or problems, there's a rather detailed post
at unfiction which also covers cgi clients if the java one won't work and
you can't or don't want to install an irc client:

I'll also be on AIM (mirlandano) gchat (mirlandano at gmail.com) if you need a
walkthrough. Really, it's not as scary as it seems!
