Sorry to ask but, have you been to make ICQJava work? It's been 3 times I try and nothing will do... When I start it, it justs keeps connecting forever, and I can't add any contacts. For information, I'm connected via user ppp, and use a socket at /var/run/internet=. Thanks in advance! On Sun, 12 Jul 1998, NOC-GFX wrote: > > On Sun, 12 Jul 1998, Pavel V.
