Is it possible to connect to a jabber conference ?

I am able to connect after being invited , but can`t seem to find a way to join one directly from the N800.
I have tried adding a chat@conference.server.tld contact but it just shows as an offline user.

Being slightly distrustful of google I decided to setup a ejabberd server on my network , it was fairly easy to get working. I`ve even managed to get it linked to my IRC server.
I didnt realise how many features a jabber server had until now. stunning.
I full recommend it to all all the tech types in here.
