There is a way to do it, _if_ the user is using an IM service, for
icq the easiest way would prolly be to use the icq module for
perl (i don't know whether there is a PHP class for icq), and then
use that to generate your page...
Mirabilis has made it possible to have the little "online" icon
if you like... check out their site for more info...
I dunno whether this is possible for AIM/etc...
