Your redirect_port solution doesn't work if you're trying to communicate with someone else behind a firewall. I've tried. ICQ seems to refuse to even try. So I installed a SOCK5 Proxy. I had great success with Dante v1.1.0-pre2 (http://www.inet.no/dante). Unfortunately, the 1.1.0 final release version is worse with ICQ than NEC's socks5 proxy was. If anyone wants 1.1.0-pre2, I can stick it on an FTP server. "Jonathan E.
