Using other chat programs to gain access

[attroll]

I put this on my test site and it is awesome. I am not into chat programs and don't use them much so I don't know a lot about them so this may be a stupid question. I use to have VBXirc on my site and you could access the room without going though my site. Can IRC amd MIRC users use their programs to gain access to this chat or can you only gain access thought the web site itself?

VBXirc is just another IRC client, just like MIRC, only it is webbased. They all can access the same IRC servers/channels.
