As Gary mentioned, http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net, should be all
you need to use jabber inside Emacs and connect to multiple protocols.

Check out the EmacsWiki page on jabber as well.

Whichever XMPP server you use, make sure it supports the transports you
want.

I use jabber.el to connect to Google Talk and Yahoo! via a jabber server
in Emacs.
