You might remember that while I was living in my best friend's house I
wasn't able to send files to you through ICQ and I had serious issues even
getting messages out. I think we both had to send through the server to
talk to each other. That was a firewall issue and that firewall was set up
by a professional security admin. He managed to get ICQ reasonably stable
but I couldn't connect directly to any linux or BSD users. ICQ is a mess.
If I remember correctly, ICQ uses ranges of ports for each action and
selects randomly from that range of ports for each time that you do
something. That makes it almost impossible to predict which port will be
used to send messages. In order to allow free use of ICQ, you may as well
open every port in the firewall, which sorta defeats the purpose of having
a firewall in the first place. It's one of the most problematic pieces of
software to use through a firewall. But we love it anyway.
