Dirk,

IRC is the Internet Relay Chat system.  It does, indeed, allow live
communications among numerous users.

The irc package is available for anonymous ftp from plenty of sites
around the net.  If you are only looking for the client, you can get
the client from uceng.uc.edu.

Please feel free to email me if you have questions.
