Reciently I've seen in the official ICQ client that you can set your
own personal status, besides the usual online/away/etc. I don't use it
and I don't have a windows computer where I can try it, but I believe
that when a user is in this status, in licq we see him/her as online
and "phone follow me" status is set as busy. I'm not sure about this,
I´ll try to do some more research. If anyone has access to an official
client, would be nice to confirm this behaviour. In the meantime, I'll
ask some friends who use Mirabilis ICQ.
Cheers.

I just fixed the issue in the current SVN. User status changes are
marked only as USER_STATUS. For Phone Follow Me, ICQPhone, and Shared
Directories, the status changes are sent with a subsignal of
USER_PLUGIN_STATUS (just created this in r4638.

It's from the Mirabilis ICQ. It lets users know the physical location
you are at. For example, if you use ICQ at home, work and a friend's
house the phone number you can be reached at will differ (Who isn't
using a cell phone these days??) and the "follow me" is that they can
know how to reach you (via a land line or a cell phone if you have a
different cell phone at each location [therefore reducing the
convience of a cell phone]).

Quite useless, but it is a plugin for ICQ.. so perhaps someday useful
plugins will be released and we can support those easily.
