GnomeICU will work with AOLs publically available ICQ servers, or you
can download a Win32 based server to run an Intranet network. There are
also several open source servers under development, but the only reliable
one I've ever seen working is http://www.icq.khstu.ru/unix/
If you are looking for an IM system, you may want to take a look at
Jabber http://www.jabber.org and http://www.jabber.com. Jabber is an open
IM system, meaning that is uses URIs just as email does, and allows any
number of Jabber servers to intercommunicate. There are also some very nice
perl modules for integrating it into system scripts, to say, send you an IM
when an alert is set, etc.. Becouse of its open architecture, it also
supports several 'gateways' into other IM systems, such as ICQ, MSN, IRC,
and untill recently being blocked by AOL, AIM. These are server based
solutions, not multiprotocol based clients. But hey, I'm biased..
