They're using ejabbed's as their backend servers, but they've firewalled the
standard jabber ports and are using their own protocol to connect from their
java client to some custom gateway.  This makes it impossible to use a
standard jabber client to connect  (Additionally their s2s is down most of
the time for some reason - apparently open federation just isn't safe
enough)
