If you are asking about yahoo instant Messenger, depending on your
version of jaws, scripts are included for it. You will need to find a
version of Yahoo IM that works with your version of jaws or will need
to find updated scripts. I don't know if yahoo IM supports group
chats and if so, if this feature is supported by jaws.
If you are referring to some chat feature somewhere on the yahoo.com
website, I am not sure about that. Oftentimes webgbased chat is
not or not easily accessible.
AS for accessible voice chat sites frequented by the blind, there
are many choices and different personal preferences. I have taken the
below list from the afore-mentioned vipconduit's "items of interst" section:
audio-tips:
http://www.audio-tips.com/
Fantasy Ltd:
http://www.fantasyltd.com/
For the people:
http://www.for-the-people.com/
In the Blind Spot
http://www.intheblindspot.com/
Interactive Christian Community (all-Christian chat site)
http://www.iccsite.com/
New Visions Network
http://new-visions-network.com/
Out of Sight
http://www.out-of-sight.net/
The accessible Friends Network (based in the U.K.)
http://www.tafn.org.uk/
Most of the above chat sites use the tc5 chat client from talking
Communities; "for the people" uses the chatterbox chat client", and
vipconduit and tafn use the VIPCommunicator chat client.
all of these chat clients can be used by the blind and work in much
the same way as they employ a "push to talk" system by which one
speaker at a time can talk while holding down a specified key on the
keyboard, most often the control key.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up
too.

I don't know about yahoo, but
www.out-of-sight.net
is very Jaws friendly.
