Great idea but I think AOL would have issues with that. So far they have not bothered the LICQ project. If this was done; ie. creating licqd/licq-server I believe it would draw thier attention to us. Right now AOL uses ICQ to do banner advertisements which is somewhat of a revenue stream for them due to the success of their ICQ network. I'm not implying that we in the LICQ project completely dismiss an alternative icq server but perhaps it would be better if another group writes one, and not make it proprietory to LICQ but to all ICQ clones.
With that said check out: http://iserverd.khstu.ru/ These sites, it is hoped, will release something soon. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ricqd/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/axelserver/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/imalizer/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dennis Tenn * There will always come a time [EMAIL PROTECTED] * When your love will be tested LICQ# 1457509 * Stand tall and rise to the occasion * For only then will you grow strong. * -Anonymous -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Richard Schiavo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed, 7 Nov 2001 11:29:12 -0500 Subject: [Licq-main] Licq peer to peer question > I too have all the problems with AOL's ICQ server both with > the windows version and with the Linux version.
