An issue I have with IRC is that I am unable to use it at work. The IT department has blocked access. Some of the conferencing options allow connecting via telephone to address the bandwidth problems. Some of them also offer one month free trials so we can see how it would work for us before we commit money.

Regarding the limitation of IRC at work; if you can view web pages using javascript, there are IRC gateways which will let you use IRC as a web page. Here is the url for Wikizine.Org's gateway: http://chatwikizine.memebot.com/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi It does not yet allow access to irc://irc.freenode.net/Wikimedia-ca, but I can ask to have it added.
Freenode has its own Webchat client at http://webchat.freenode.net/
The #wikimedia-ca channel is directly accessible at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikimedia-ca
