I need a simple chat client (preferably cheap )

SO that a user can chat to support in a different building.

Anyone any suggestions??

All machines are Win2000

Any help appreciated.

Could always get yourself a unix/linux machine and stick an ircd on it, then they could use mirc to talk to the helpdesk people, and it'll cost you nothing.

Let me know if you don't get anywhere - I wrote a multiple TCP Connection server a while back - it'd only require a little tweaking.

Take a look at Jabber, OpenSource and hence free, loads of different clients, even web based ones so you don't have to visit machines to install clients. And if your feeling clever you can write bots to do all sorts of things, like query for helpdesk/support systems, do language translation etc, etc.
