I'd rather know in advance what I can't do, so it doesn't crash. :-) > |I gather that the UDP protocol has been completely stripped out of > |the newer version.

I know this (but I *am* using the UDP version and I can live with it). > They are *AOL* they can do just about anything they please and get away > with it... but they still love to cry foul when a someone else does the > same thing! ;-) Incidentally, for curiosity's sake I just downloaded the latest and greatest (ha!) Java ICQ from their web page and tried it out using the java1.1 JRE installed on Solaris 8. The "Enter your ICQ# and Password" box is still there about 45 minutes after I pressed "OK", with the little icon still spinning. Great software, eh? ;-) imc PS: unrelated stupid question: I have no real idea what UDP actually is, but I'm given the impression that it just consists in sending packets with no established connection [I guess I'm wrong about that because netstat shows it as an established connection]. So if I'm configuring a firewall then do I need to allow some incoming UDP ports as well as the outgoing one? Or does opening the outgoing port automatically allow the incoming ones to get back? _______________________________________________ Licq-main mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/licq-main
