Yes, root access; no, not a dedicated server. No, it doesn't need to be IRC, just web-based group chat that's easy to use and quick to set up. I figured IRC would be easiest since I'm relatively used to it.
I couldn't find any discussions of IRC on Dreamhost's wiki, so I'm pretty sure they don't support it if not full-out prohibiting. This wouldn't be a free-for-all chat; it would be for myself and a small group of coworkers to collaborate on during a project where e-mail won't be the best way of communicating issues.
I'll look into Meebo rooms - I'd considered Meebo but somehow never knew that they support group rooms (though I should have known). If possible I'd prefer something that at least requires a password to get in. I could set up a simple authentication step on my own server though... so maybe that's all it would take... hmm.
Thanks for the info!
