I just tried. I chose ->Communications->InternetChess->Connect. In the field
"Hostname or IP Address" I typed jogo.cex.org.br .

With PortNumber 5000 CSTal connected to the server.

As I didn't understand any of the messages (Portuguese? ) I couldn't do much
more ( it seems you only can login if you are registered ?!).

I assume that you probably have to put in "timeseal" instead of "timestamp" in
the "Helper" field.

By all means get the update Thorsten has mentioned as it adressed a few problems
with server play.

It looks like a typical FICS server at first sight- CSTal _should_ work.
