Scott and Dean,
Excuse my ignorance (I'm living here between two connections - one where I
can read email and one where I can do everything else and right now I'm on
email so I haven't actually check the instant messaging stuff) but I think
that ICQ is using UDP rather than TCP (since there is no point in having
zillions of connections open at the same time for a few messages). And AFAIK
UDP is not supported on the Mac.
