Still no SILC support on the Solaris version, while every other system has it. I host my own SILC for security reasons, but now have to put up a ridiculously complex by comparison instance of XMPP because a few systems are too retarded to type in ~11 characters at build. If ICQ wasn't such a magnet for phishing schemes and crazy Russians, maybe I'd have it enabled more often, but nonetheless you could use the Blastwave version.
