Like I posted in an eariler email, I've now put the UDP timeouts down to
60 seconds. I had it abnormally high due to ICQ users were seeing me come
and go (flapping). After running a tcpdump, I noticed that ICQ (in its
stock setup) sent updates no longer than every 8 minutes. I was then
later told that ICQ has a firewall timeout adjustment for this exact
issue. I'm trying the new settings out now as we speak.

Interesting! I appreciate your knowledge on the quake module and
Q2 on this one!
Thanks everyone and I appologize for the false alarm but I definately
learned something from this thread and I imagine other people did too!
