I don't have an ICQ account myself, but I do have an AOL IM account (and I think AOL own/run/whatever ICQ now) and I can use that to IM friends on ICQ (and have done many times). > Are there base incompatibilities know between gaim and licq? I don't know, never having used licq. Could it depend on whether the IM conversations are directed via a server, as opposed to some sort of P2P fashion? I assume that when I IM a friend on ICQ it all takes place via an AOL server. > Would you mind if we - after exchanging ICQ UINs by private mail - go > on with a test between us, using gaim and licq? By all means. I'll email you my IM contact details ... Best, Darren -- ===================================================================== D. D.
