Yeah, ICQ uses UDP unfortunately.  And UDP isn't supported on macs yet for
some reason.  But this works great in Windows and UNIX VMs!  I guess I
could make it so that it would only use AIM instead of ICQ for you Mac
people out there, but there's no reason a Mac VM shouldn't support UDP.
Besides, the Mac people would be missing out on 20+ million icq users out
there!
